Senior Care Package Basic & Premium Plans
We have implemented the Senior Care Package Program for dogs and cats because we realize that the needs of older pets are fundamentally different from those of young pets. In contrast with geriatric medicine, which historically addressed the needs of older pets on a case-by-case basis and is focused on disease treatment, senior care has a preventative and therapeutic focus.

It is important to start preventative services and to test young senior pets by age 7 to:

1. Establish baseline values as the pets are entering their senior years.

2. Modify risk factors (diet, gum/dental problems, sedentary lifestyle) to help prevent disease.

3. Diagnose diseases before the pet is visibly ill or suffering.

We offer both basic and premium plans for dogs and cats. All plans offered provide a 20% discount on services. Please call us today and one of our qualified staff will be happy to provide you more details and how you can sign your senior dog or cat up today!

Puppy and Kitten Care Package Plans
We have implemented the Puppy and Kitten Package Plans because we know how important it is for youngsters to get a healthy start in life. The plans include examinations, all core vaccinations, testing for intestinal parasites, parasite preventative treatment and a behavior and training consultation at a generous 15% discount. Please call us today and one of our qualified staff will be happy to provide you more details and how you can sign your puppy or kitten up today!

Weight Management Package
Have you noticed that your dog or cat no longer plays or interacts with you like they used to? Their sluggish behavior may be the result of being overweight. Did you know that recent studies indicate that 47% of pets seen by veterinarians are overweight or even obese?

Excess weight is one of the leading causes of diabetes, heart disease, joint problems-arthritis, cancer and respiratory problems in both dogs and cats. In an effort to improve the health of our patients and create a positive bond between our clients and their pets Cottage Lake Veterinary Hospital has developed a weight management package that includes an examination, dietary change, exercise plan and weight consultations.

It is never too early or too late to begin a healthy diet and exercise plan for your dog or cat. This package is designed for pets of all ages who are overweight and need their owner's and veterinarian's help to improve their health and well-being.
