Preventive Care

Did you know...

  • More than 244,000 dogs tested positive in 2001 for heartworms, which can lead to heart failure and organ damage?
  • 85% of adult dogs and cats have some form of dental disease, which, if left untreated can spread harmful bacteria to the blood stream and lead to infection of the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys? (This is on top of pain, bad breath, and tooth loss.)
  • More than 25% of the dogs and cats are obese, which potentially can lead to many of the same problems as with people who have this situation?
  • There are a number of health conditions that may improve if treated with a therapeutic diet, including kidney disease, food allergies, and obesity?
  • When your dog or cat is 7 years old or older, it is considered a senior and would likely benefit from additional diagnostic tests?
  • Just as with humans, preventive care will help your pet live longer and enjoy a higher quality of life. We will help you evaluate all of the available options, so you can be an educated consumer and make the best decision for you and your beloved pet.
