Pet Preventative Health Care Information
- Vaccinations help prevent your pet from becoming ill by stimulating
his/her immune system.
- Medications and insecticides protect your pet from internal and
external parasites. Have your pet's feces tested annually for internal
parasites.
- Exercise will help your pet avoid obesity, poor muscle development,
stress and heart disease.
- Surgical neutering (removal of the ovaries/uterus or testes) helps
prevent uterine disease, breast cancer, the birth of unwanted animals
and the development of undesirable behavior.
- Dental examinations, cleaning and providing hard chewing exercise
help prevent gum disease, bad breath, abscessed teeth, loose teeth,
and destructive chewing.
- Preventative medicine is available for protecting your pet against
heartworm. Yearly blood checks will determine if your pet is "clean"
of these internal parasites.
- Feline leukemia is a common viral disease. Prevent your cat from
contracting this fatal disease by having your pet tested and vaccinated.
- Regular physical examinations can help with early detection of disease.
Implementation of a preventative health care program by your veterinarian
to fit your pet's unique and changing needs can help prevent many painful
and costly diseases.
