What veterinary services does Your Pets Vets offer?
We offer a comprehensive range of veterinary services all under one roof, including wellness care, vaccinations, dental cleanings and dental radiology, digital full body radiology, full-service laboratory testing, nutritional consultations, senior pet care, and soft tissue surgery. Visit our services page for a full overview.
How often should I bring my pet in for a checkup?
For healthy adult pets, we recommend an annual wellness exam. Senior pets or those with ongoing health conditions should be seen at least every six months. Regular checkups are the single most effective way to catch health issues early and keep your pet in optimal condition throughout their life.
What vaccinations does my pet need?
All dogs and cats require a set of core vaccines, including rabies, distemper, and others specific to their species. Additional lifestyle vaccines may be recommended based on your pet’s environment, habits, and risk of exposure. Our veterinarians at Your Pets Vets will assess your pet and create a personalized vaccination schedule. Learn more on our vaccines page.
Does my pet need to fast before their appointment?
Fasting is not required for most routine wellness visits. However, if your pet is scheduled for bloodwork, certain lab tests, or surgery, fasting beforehand may be necessary. Our team at Your Pets Vets will provide specific instructions when you schedule your appointment — call us at (954) 271-2703 with any questions.
What should I do if my pet is showing signs of illness?
If your pet is displaying symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, labored breathing, limping, or any sudden behavioral changes, contact Your Pets Vets at (954) 271-2703 as soon as possible to schedule an evaluation. Early intervention is always best. Our in-house laboratory and digital radiology allow us to diagnose and begin treatment quickly.
Do you offer dental care for pets?
Yes. Your Pets Vets provides professional dental cleanings and digital dental radiology for dogs and cats. Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions in pets, and routine cleanings can prevent serious complications including tooth loss, chronic pain, and systemic infections. We recommend annual dental exams for most pets.
Do you perform surgery at your Pembroke Pines location?
Yes. Your Pets Vets has a dedicated surgical suite and our experienced veterinary team performs a full range of soft tissue surgeries — including spay/neuter, mass removal, abdominal surgery, wound repair, and more. Pre-surgical bloodwork and thorough consultations are conducted before every procedure to ensure your pet’s safety.
What is digital radiology and do you offer it at Your Pets Vets?
Yes. Your Pets Vets offers digital full body radiology — a modern imaging technology that produces high-quality x-ray images with minimal radiation exposure and no wait time for film development. We also routinely partner with board-certified veterinary radiologists via telemedicine to ensure specialist-level interpretation of your pet’s images.
Does Your Pets Vets have an in-house laboratory?
Yes. Our full-service in-house laboratory allows us to run a wide range of diagnostic tests — including bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal exams, and heartworm testing — with results available quickly, often during the same visit. This is especially valuable in urgent situations where fast answers are critical.
Do you offer nutritional guidance for pets?
Yes. Our veterinarians provide personalized nutritional consultations as part of routine wellness care and as standalone appointments for pets with specific dietary needs. We can help with weight management, therapeutic diets for chronic conditions, puppy and kitten nutrition, and senior diet adjustments.
Do you offer specialized care for older pets?
Absolutely. Your Pets Vets has a dedicated senior care program for aging dogs and cats. We recommend bi-annual checkups for senior pets, along with age-specific lab work, dental monitoring, and nutritional adjustments to help your pet stay comfortable and healthy in their golden years.
Does Your Pets Vets offer financing options?
