What Are Preventive Services for Cats and Dogs?
Here is a look at some of the preventive services we offer right here at our El Paso, TX, practice:
Pet Wellness Exams: Adult pets usually require twice-yearly wellness exams to maintain healthy, vibrant lives. Puppies, kittens, and senior pets may require more frequent visits to address age-related health concerns. During a wellness exam, we will check your pet’s weight and vital signs, perform a physical exam, and evaluate your furry friend’s dental health. We may also recommend bloodwork or other diagnostic tests to identify and treat underlying conditions as they develop. We are always happy to answer your questions and address any concerns.
Vaccinations: Vaccinations can prevent serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases. They also protect your family’s health by preventing certain diseases that can spread from pets to humans. Some vaccines are required by law for cats and dogs, including the rabies vaccine, starting at around 16 weeks, followed by boosters every 1 to 3 years. Our team will work with you to outline a vaccination schedule for your furry companion based on age, breed, and lifestyle. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, pet vaccinations have saved millions of animals over the last century from serious preventable diseases and even death.
Parasite Prevention: Parasites, such as fleas, ticks, intestinal parasites, and heartworms, can cause discomfort, illness, and even death in pets if left untreated. Parasite prevention year-round can help keep these unwanted pests at bay, safeguarding your pet’s life. We are happy to recommend topical treatments, oral medications, or collars to protect your pet against external and internal parasites.
The Importance of Veterinary Preventive Care
Preventive care offers numerous benefits, including the following:
- Disease Prevention: Vaccinations and parasite control medications protect pets from serious diseases, reducing their risk of illness.
- Cost Savings: Preventive care is often more affordable than treating preventable diseases or their complications.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Regular preventive care helps your pets stay healthy, active, and happy, improving their health and overall quality of life.
