Preventative care

We recommend all adult and senior pets receive an annual exam. Dogs and cats are considered “senior” when they are about 6-10 years of age, (breed/size dependent for dogs). An annual appointment would include a full physical exam, blood work to check organ function, and a fecal test to check for intestinal parasites. Seeing your pet yearly allows us to detect changes in their health earlier, and potentially prevent certain diseases from progressing.
Some signs of underlying diseases include:
  • Drinking or urinating more often
  • Decrease in mobility
  • Changes in appetite/weight loss
  • Anxiety
  • New or changes in lumps/bumps
  • New or worsening cough
Some of these symptoms may be part of the normal aging process. However, if you notice any of these signs, or have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us to have your pet be seen.

Dr. Scotto is one of the finest Veterinarians I have ever met. Her love for animals shines through in her kind and gentle manner, especially during the darkest times. We said goodbye to our sweet baby after 16 years, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better than Dr. Scotto to assist our girl to a better place. We are very fortunate to have her at Mercy Animal Hospital. RIP Myla 💖

I can’t thank Dr. Scotto enough for her compassionate care and her incredible staff for helping us through a very difficult time. We have been with Mercy Animal Hospital for 28 years and I can sincerely say that Dr. Dina is carrying  on with the same level of excellence as we’ve come to know at Mercy. Our little Sophie was treated with the utmost respect and care. We are so thankful and appreciative of all of you there at Mercy Animal Hospital
