Where Good Health Begins
Preventative medicine is the foundation of a long, healthy life for your beloved companion. At Azalea Animal Hospital, Dr. Sydney Jay brings deep roots to this community as a Whitehouse native. She partners with you to create personalized wellness plans that honor both your pet’s unique needs and your family’s lifestyle.
Wellness Care, Tailor-Made
Wellness exams are one of our favorite parts of what we do. They let us really get to know your furry family members and what makes them unique! It allows us to establish a healthy baseline and build the kind of relationship that helps us quickly spot any changes that might signal trouble down the road. Because they’re masters at hiding when something’s wrong, health problems often go undetected until they become more serious and harder to treat. That’s why we’re such advocates for regular checkups, even when your pet seems perfectly fine and full of their usual energy
Your pet’s health and happiness are always our top priority. For most of our four-legged patients, we recommend annual wellness exams to keep them thriving. Our senior pets get a little extra love with twice-yearly visits, because as they age, routine bloodwork and radiographs become essential tools that help us monitor the aging process and keep them feeling their best for as long as possible. Taking care of your precious pet’s health starts with consistent wellness care, and we’re here to partner with you every step of the way. Ready to schedule your pet’s wellness visit?

Senior Pet Care
HONORING THE GOLDEN YEARS
Senior pets deserve special attention. We recommend twice-yearly exams to catch age-related changes early and maintain quality of life.
Senior Care Focus:
- Comprehensive bloodwork and urinalysis
- Joint mobility and pain assessment
- Dental health evaluation
- Customized nutrition plans
- Management of chronic conditions (arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes)
Watch for These Signs: Changes in appetite, mobility, thirst, or behavior warrant a checkup. Early intervention makes a meaningful difference in comfort and longevity.
