Wellness care is very important to prevent and detect underlying disease. Regular health uations such as exams, blood and urine uation, and intestinal parasite testing allow us to establish a baseline for your pet and identify issues before they become bigger medical and financial concerns. During wellness visits, which we recommend twice a year, we will provide you with information regarding nutrition, behavior, monthly parasite prevention, and at-home dental care. Vaccine recommendations will also be made based upon your pet’s lifestyle and exposure to various diseases.
Several of my dogs have significant other issues that put them at increased risk for anesthesia — and yet their teeth have to be cleaned. While I may anxiously wait for the text or call that lets me know everything went well, I know they are getting expert and attentive care.
