At LPHC, our focus is on preventative health care. Twice-yearly wellness exams and recommended annual bloodwork profile, heartworm/3 tick disease screening, and fecal parasite exam allow Dr. Litfin to manage health changes and detect early stages of the disease.

Preventative services will vary depending on a pet's age, lifestyle, and health status, but may include bloodwork, vaccinations, intestinal parasite testing, heartworm testing and preventative meds, flea and tick treatments, and nutritional recommendations. 

Senior pets may also benefit from EKG, urinalysis, and pain assessment. 

Lifelong Pet Health Care is a fully equipped hospital with in-house small animal surgery, laboratory services for internal diagnostics, digital radiology, dentistry, a complete pharmacy, boarding, Hill’s Prescription Diets, Science Diet, and limited Royal Canin diets (special order diets available as needed for patients’ needs), and pet supplies.

In the back of our facility is our "Pet Resort," this is where the TLC in Lifelong Pet Health Care comes into play the most. Our kennel and boarding space allows us to provide your pet with the best home away from home possible. When our patients stay with us, they are treated like one of our own and our whole staff has a tendency to spoil everyone just a little bit.

​

Dogs are walked 3-4 times daily around our spacious yard. Dogs staying two or more nights, receive a complimentary cleansing bath.
