General Wellness & Preventative Care for Pets in the Acadiana Region
At Acadia Animal Medical Center, we’ve been caring for pets in Rayne and the surrounding communities since 1985. Families from Crowley to Lafayette know our team by name and we often know their pets even better. Whether you’ve just welcomed a new puppy or you’re managing the needs of a senior cat, we’re here with the kind of care that keeps tails wagging and hooves healthy.
Local, Trusted Wellness Care That Fits Your Family
Our veterinary team offers annual wellness exams for dogs and cats. These visits are a chance to track weight, monitor for early signs of illness, and answer your questions. We take our time, so you never feel rushed. And if your pet gets nervous, we’re patient. Most of our staff have pets with quirks, too. You’ll get honest recommendations based on your pet’s lifestyle, breed, age, and medical history.
What to Expect at a Wellness Visit:
Puppy and Kitten Visits
Bringing home a new puppy or kitten is exciting, and a little overwhelming. We’re here to help you get off on the right foot. Early visits help us build a relationship with your pet and give them a positive experience at the clinic.
We’ll walk you through a vaccination schedule, talk about diet and house training, and answer questions about socialization or behavior. From the very first tail wag or kitten purr, we’re invested in helping your new companion grow into a healthy adult.
Here’s what we focus on during those first visits:
Vaccinations for Pets in Rayne, LA
Vaccines are one of the most important tools we have to prevent serious illness. Our clinic provides vaccination programs for pets based on age, species, lifestyle, and local risk.
For puppies and kittens, we recommend a series of core vaccines starting around 6 to 8 weeks of age. For adult dogs and cats, we tailor boosters to your pet’s specific needs. No one-size-fits-all approach here.
Common vaccines we administer:
If you’re unsure what vaccines your pet needs, just give us a call. We’re happy to review your pet’s records and make recommendations.
Year-Round Parasite Prevention
In Louisiana, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes aren’t seasonal pests. They’re around all year, which makes year-round parasite prevention essential.
Our veterinary team will recommend safe, effective preventatives based on your pet’s size, age, and species. Whether it’s a monthly chew, a topical application, or a long-lasting injection, we’ll help you choose what works best for your routine and your budget.
Why parasite prevention matters:
We also provide routine testing, including heartworm and fecal exams, to make sure your pet stays protected.
