Many pet parents make the mistake of thinking that trips to the vet are only necessary when their companion is sick or has been injured in some way. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, in many cases, a pet that appears to be perfectly healthy may actually be experiencing medical problems that are not yet exhibiting symptoms. When we are able to examine your loved one on a regular basis, we can identify these potential concerns and address them right away, before they have a chance to develop further. This can add years to your pet’s life, and also save you money over time.
Annual or semi-annual wellness visits also provide us with the opportunity to protect your pet against many of the dangers and risks he or she will encounter over the years. Proactive measures such as vaccinations, parasite control, nutrition and weight management can help to keep your loved one happy, healthy and fit and ward off illness and injury as a result. The more we stay on top of your pet’s health, the better the chances of a long, fulfilling life.
