Essential Pets Preventative Services
Routine Wellness Exams: Annual (or more frequent for seniors) checkups allow early detection of health issues and enable tailored preventive measures. These exams typically include:
Physical examination to assess overall health.
Vaccination review and updates.
Parasite screening and control recommendations.
Nutritional counselling is based on your pet’s specific needs.
Discussion of lifestyle and behaviors to identify potential concerns.
Vaccinations: Protect your pet from contagious and potentially fatal diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus through core and non-core vaccinations based on individual needs.
Parasite Control: Regular administration of medication or preventative products safeguards against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and internal parasites, protecting your pet’s health and preventing transmission to humans.
Dental Care: Brushing your pet’s teeth daily and scheduling regular dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease, a major health concern for pets.
Additional Preventative Options
Spay/Neutering: This surgery not only prevents unwanted litter but also offers health benefits like reducing the risk of certain cancers and behavioral problems.
Microchipping: Provides permanent identification, increasing the chances of reuniting with your pet if they get lost.
Nutritional Guidance: Choosing the right diet for your pet’s age, breed, and activity level contributes significantly to their well-being.
Training and Behavior Consultations: Address behavioral issues early on and promote a harmonious relationship with your pet.
Pet Insurance: Helps manage the financial burden of unexpected veterinary expenses.
