At Alexander Animal Hospital, we encourage you to schedule a wellness exam for your pet once a year.
Why should you visit the vet when your pet looks happy and healthy? Because annual wellness appointments are the foundation of any pet’s lifetime of healthcare. They can also significantly affect your pet’s longevity and overall health. At Alexander Animal Hospital, we encourage you to schedule a wellness exam for your pet once a year. Check out these reasons why scheduling a wellness exam for your pet is important.
Early Disease Detection
During every wellness exam for your pet, a veterinarian at Alexander Animal Hospital will perform a thorough nose-to-tail physical exam. This includes checking vital signs, weighing your pet, and performing recommended bloodwork. Overall, this creates a baseline for your pet’s health.
Moreover, annual wellness appointments allow us to detect diseases early when they’re more inclined to respond well to treatment. With early detection and intervention, our team can further figure out and curb the progression of chronic health conditions.
Your Furry Friend Deserves Protection
Since pets can’t talk, cats, in particular, are experts at masking their symptoms. By the time a sign arises that your cat is sick, she or he has likely been suffering for quite some time. In addition, a yearly examination can reveal things about your pet’s health that your cat or dog has been hiding.
Each year, your pet will get the appropriate vaccines for her or his species and lifestyle to protect her or his from the effects of infectious diseases such as rabies. Plus, we’ll recommend parasite control to protect your best friend from ticks, fleas, and heartworms. Call us today at 410-777-8678 for more information!
We’ll Build a Relationship
A wellness exam for your pet gives us a vital opportunity to discuss any changes you’ve noticed in your pet’s behavior or other concerns you have. It also allows your pet to familiarize themselves with us and our surroundings. Ultimately, this rapport and open communication are crucial for your pet’s ongoing healthcare.
