Preventative Medicine
Preventative medicine is a specialty of our veterinary clinic. This form of medicine includes regular physical examinations combined with vaccinations according to each individual pet’s lifestyle and needs.
Vaccinations play an essential role in disease prevention in our pets. Our veterinarians will discuss with you the different types of vaccines that are available and create a vaccination plan that is best suited for you and your pet. Vaccine titer measurements are also an effective way to ensure your pets are protected. Kitten and puppy vaccinations and annual wellness visits are useful means of overall care for these furry members of our family.
We strongly encourage our clients to make a small investment into annual wellness blood tests because the best way to understand a pet’s status of well-being is to compare their test results with their own test results from the previous year. This way, we can catch the abnormal trends at an early stage.
As a result, early intervention may be planned and performed, providing better prognoses and minimizing cost. This small investment will minimize or even prevent costly treatments in the future.
