Preventive care
Consultations for preventive care are a routine and essential part of our practice. These annual visits allow us to conduct a comprehensive physical examination and discuss your pet’s overall health and lifestyle.
Preventive care encompasses vaccinations, deworming, parasite control, annual physical exams, and blood work for older pets, dental check-ups, among other services.
Based on your pet’s lifestyle, age, and general health, we can recommend personalized parasite control measures, appropriate nutrition, and minor adjustments to daily habits if necessary.
The benefits of preventive care are significant; for example, a fully vaccinated dog is at a much lower risk of contracting parvovirus, and a cat at a healthy weight is less likely to develop arthritis or diabetes. Additionally, a dog receiving proper parasite control is safeguarded against both external parasites and the diseases they may carry. This simple consultation can save you from potential health issues down the road.
As the saying goes: "Better safe than sorry!"
