Caring for Dogs & Cats Across the Phoenix Valley

As pet parents, we all want our dogs and cats to live long, happy, and healthy lives. In Arizona’s unique desert climate, preventive care is especially important. From annual checkups to specialized services like dental cleanings, bloodwork, and in-home end-of-life care, local families in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Mesa, and Paradise Valley turn to Phoenix Mobile Veterinarians and Animal Hospital for comprehensive and compassionate veterinary services.

Whether you’re a first-time puppy parent or caring for a senior cat, this guide will walk you through the essentials of pet health in the Phoenix Valley — and explain why families trust our award-winning veterinarians, Dr. Mark Caldwell and Dr. Kristin Fornara, as the best in Arizona.

Preventive Care: Wellness Exams for Dogs & Cats

Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong health. Our doctors recommend regular dog and cat wellness exams to:

  • Detect early signs of illness before they become serious.
  • Track weight, nutrition, and lifestyle needs.
  • Ensure vaccines and parasite prevention are up to date.

Available both in our Scottsdale hospital and through mobile visits in Phoenix, Mesa, and Paradise Valley, wellness exams make sure your pets stay healthy year-round.

Vaccinations: Protecting Arizona Pets

Arizona pets face unique risks, from rattlesnake bites to region-specific parasites. That’s why up-to-date vaccinations are critical. Our services include:

  • Dog vaccinations: Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, Leptospirosis, and more.
  • Cat vaccinations: Rabies, FVRCP, FeLV (for outdoor cats).

Our veterinarians tailor vaccine protocols to your dog or cat’s lifestyle, whether they’re an indoor Mesa cat or an adventurous Scottsdale pup.

Dental Care: The Importance of X-Rays

Dental disease affects more than 70% of pets by age three. Our Scottsdale hospital focuses on advanced dental cleanings with full-mouth x-rays.

Benefits include:

  • Identifying hidden tooth root disease.
  • Preventing painful infections.
  • Improving overall health — since dental disease can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Dogs and cats across Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Mesa come to our hospital for expert dental care, with procedures overseen by Dr. Fornara and Dr. Caldwell

Diagnostics: Bloodwork & Radiographs

Early detection saves lives. Our hospital provides advanced diagnostic tools, including:

  • Bloodwork & lab testing: Helps detect kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid issues, and more.
  • Radiographs (x-rays): Used for fractures, joint disease, or internal illness.

Mobile appointments can include sample collection, while more advanced diagnostics are performed at our Scottsdale facility.

Surgery: Spay, Neuter & More

Surgical care is an important part of keeping pets healthy. We offer:

Every procedure includes state-of-the-art anesthesia monitoring, ensuring your pet’s safety from start to finish.

Compassionate End-of-Life Care

When the time comes to say goodbye, families across Scottsdale, Phoenix, Mesa, and Paradise Valley trust our veterinarians for in-home pet euthanasia.
