Internal Medicine Vet
We provide inside-out care for your pet. Whether it’s a limp, visible fleas or ticks, or bleeding gums, problems with our pets are usually pretty apparent to the naked eye. But when they’re overly aggressive, more listless than usual, or other behavioral changes with no visible trauma, there could be internal problems. WellHaven clinics have the equipment and experience to analyze, diagnose, and treat most internal issues.
Internal Veterinary Medicine offers quick diagnosis and quicker treatment.
When your pet is not feeling their best, we’re able to use the latest technology to quickly diagnose and start treatment.
X-rays can be used to evaluate your pet’s internal organs like the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs, as well as bones. When it comes to accurately diagnosing your pet, radiology can be an extremely valuable tool in our diagnostic arsenal.
We’re also stocked with an in-house laboratory that allows us to perform blood chemistry analysis, thyroid level analysis, coagulation profiles, and test for things like parvovirus, feline leukemia, and Lyme disease.
As a precedent-setting Hazel Dell, Vancouver, WA veterinarian, when your pet is not feeling their best, our experienced team uses the latest technology to make sure they’re feeling better as quickly as possible. Schedule your veterinary internal medicine visit today!

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Preventive Care
Vancouver’s climate and access to outdoor spaces create several preventive considerations for local pet owners. These answers address some of the questions we commonly associate with long-term protection.
How do pet wellness exams fit into preventive care?
Wellness exams are part of preventive veterinary care. They allow your veterinarian to assess current health, track changes, and use those findings when considering vaccinations, parasite prevention, screenings, and other proactive recommendations.
Does Vancouver’s mild, rainy climate affect parasite risk?
It can. Moisture, vegetation, and moderate temperatures may allow certain parasites to remain relevant for longer periods. Protection should be based on your pet’s individual exposure.
Should I mention hiking or wooded-area activity to my veterinarian?
Yes. Time in brush, tall grass, wooded areas, or wildlife-heavy environments can affect parasite exposure and is useful information when discussing prevention.
Should preventive care be reviewed before boarding?
Yes. Boarding can increase contact with unfamiliar animals and shared environments. Reviewing vaccination and parasite protection before an upcoming stay can help ensure current recommendations still fit.
Can travel outside Vancouver change preventive recommendations?
Yes. Different regions can have different infectious disease and parasite risks. Share frequent or upcoming destinations with your veterinarian when reviewing your pet’s preventive plan.
