Regular wellness exams allow us to catch underlying health problems early, provide consistent preventative care, and support your pet’s overall health and well-being.
Our veterinarians are skilled in diagnosing common problems that affect our pets like vomiting, itching, lumps, limping, and more.
Vaccines are essential for preventive care and can increase the chances of a longer, happier life for pets. Ensuring that pets are consistently up to date with their vaccinations can help prevent contracting disease or help lessen the severity of symptoms if a disease is contracted.
Another key component of helping to maintain your pet’s health and happiness is having them on reliable, consistent heartworm preventative.
Heartworm disease is serious and potentially fatal to our dogs and cats. Heartworms are spread by mosquito bites and can grow up to a foot long, living in the heart and lungs of our beloved pets.
Fleas can cause itchy skin, skin infections, and spread tapeworms. Ticks can carry disease such as Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and more.
From routine cleanings to tooth extractions, the Thrive Pet Healthcare network of Primary Care veterinarians and Dental Specialists is here to keep your pet's smile fresh! Our general practices can take care of everyday dental maintenance with outstanding regular check-ins, cleanings, and basic surgeries.
Meanwhile, our specialty veterinarians are prepared to handle more complex or chronic dental cases like a root abscess, jaw fracture, abnormal tooth formation, or advanced periodontal disease. These doctors are highly trained within the field of veterinary dentistry and have access to specialized equipment, typically unavailable at primary care clinics.
Unless you intend to breed, we recommend having pets spayed or neutered. Pets that have been spayed or neutered tend to live longer and have healthier lives.
It's hard to provide care without knowing the root of what is ailing your pet, which is why diagnostic testing is so important. Diagnostic testing can include laboratory testing (blood, urine, and fecal) and diagnostic imaging like X–rays, CT, MRI, and ultrasound.
We will be by your side during this time of need to offer both medical assistance and emotional support.
DVM, Medical Director
Dr. Swan grew up on the Central Coast of California and was very active in 4-H and FFA. This spurred her love of animals and ultimately led her to decide on veterinary medicine as a career. After high school, Serena took a silver engraving class in Texas and, after a lot of practice, blossomed into a silversmith making belt buckles, conchos, and jewelry. She worked on the Work Ranch in San Miguel, CA while attending Cuesta College and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. During that time she met her husband, Ted Swan and together they embarked on a journey to Saint George’s University in Grenada, W.I. to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian. Serena is ecstatic to be able to call Paso Robles her home once again and to continue to get to enjoy the beautiful California coast. She looks forward to helping all of the wonderful pets in Paso Robles and the surrounding areas. In her spare time, she enjoys riding her horses and getting to spend time with her loved ones.

Dr. Rauch grew up in San Francisco and begged her parents for a dog until they finally agreed to adopt one. She started horseback riding lessons when she was 8 and took every opportunity she could to get on a horse. Dr. Rauch graduated from Cal Poly with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and fell in love with the Central Coast. Her next adventure was in England, where she attended the Royal Veterinary College and graduated in 2018. After graduation, she completed an internship at an equine hospital in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Rauch then moved back to the Central Coast and switched to companion animal medicine. She is excited to be at North County Animal Hospital and working with the pets of Paso Robles. When not working, she is usually found hiking with her dog, Duke, and encouraging her vegetables to grow.
