At Bartram Trail Veterinary Hospital, we prioritize preventive care. We believe in preventing disease before it happens, which is why we offer vaccine protocols recommended by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). These protocols provide optimal protection against infectious diseases for your pet.
All puppies and kittens are recommended to receive their core vaccines during their early development and then a maintenance schedule begins. There are some vaccines, like Lyme for dogs and Leukemia for cats, that are “lifestyle” driven. Our team will make the best recommendations for your pet based on the history information you provide us. Every pet should stay up-to-date on their rabies vaccines!
Consider our HealthyPet Wellness Plans for convenient and affordable preventive care. These plans, available for puppies/kittens and adult dogs/cats, spread the cost of annual services (including heartworm and flea preventions) into manageable monthly payments. Ready to book your pet’s wellness visit? Simply use this “Request an Appointment” link. Our front desk team will check appointment availability, review your pet’s medical history, and provide you with a quote.

Microchipping
Microchipping Equals Safe and Permanent Pet Identification
Microchips offer the most reliable and permanent form of pet identification, providing peace of mind for pet owners. These tiny chips, implanted under your pet's skin, hold a unique identification number that can be scanned by any veterinary clinic or animal shelter nationwide.
Benefits of Microchipping:
- Increased Recovery Rate: If your pet ever goes missing, a microchip significantly increases the chances of a safe return.
- Nationwide Database: The microchip's unique ID is linked to a national pet recovery database, where you can keep your contact information up-to-date.
- Convenience: Microchips are a permanent solution, unlike collars or tags that can get lost or fall off.
- Fast and Easy Registration: Bartram Trail Veterinary Hospital proudly uses HomeAgain microchips. As part of our service, we register your pet with HomeAgain the day the microchip is implanted.
