The Importance of Regular Veterinary Care 

Routine veterinary visits help your pet live a long, healthy, and happy life. Annual or biannual exams nip emerging health problems in the bud and are key to extending your pet’s time by your side. Early detection and intervention allow your veterinary team to treat a disease in the beginning stages and then manage the condition with medication or simple lifestyle changes. Your veterinarian also can give you pointers that will help your pet live her healthiest life and stave off potential medical conditions. Veterinary Care Center is a family-owned and operated, full-service animal hospital and welcomes both urgent cares as well as pet patients in need of routine, surgical, and dental care. The vets have years of experience treating serious conditions and offering pet wellness care.

 

Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, management, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, disorder, and injury in animals. Along with this, it deals with animal rearing, husbandry, breeding, research on nutrition, and product development. The scope of veterinary medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range of conditions that can affect different species. Veterinary medicine is widely practiced, both with and without professional supervision. Professional care is most often led by a veterinary physician (also known as a veterinarian, veterinary surgeon, or "vet"), but also by para veterinary workers, such as veterinary nurses or technicians. This can be augmented by other paraprofessionals with specific specialties, such as animal physiotherapy or dentistry, and species-relevant roles such as farriers. Veterinary science helps human health through the monitoring and control of zoonotic diseases (infectious diseases transmitted from nonhuman animals to humans), food safety, and human applications via medical research.

Heartworm: Heartworm is easily spread from one animal to another. It is done through a parasitic worm that is generally transferred through a mosquito bite. The infection that this mosquito bites can sit dormant in the animal’s system for more than 6 months. One way to diagnose heartworm is through blood screening. Unfortunately, if your pet is not receiving regular veterinary care it cannot be caught. Often, when this happens heartworm is often caught too late and can be fatal. However, for pets that do receive regular veterinary care if caught early, a heartworm can be treated and is 100% preventable through regular medicine.

 

Dentistry: Regular dental maintenance is absolutely crucial to maintaining your furry friend’s overall health. Not only does regular dental maintenance prevent bad breath, but it can assist in the prevention of a multitude of diseases. It is important for pet owners to realize that infections that form in the mouth can easily enter your animal’s bloodstream, and end up traveling to major vital organs.

 

Vaccine/Spay and Neuter: Just like we do, pets need their vaccines too. There are a variety of diseases that animals can now be vaccinated against in order to help improve their overall lifespan. Now, it depends on where you go and what it is that you plan to do with your pet, but the trained specialists can help select the right vaccines to help keep your furry friend safe.

 

Grooming: Every pet owner wants their animal to look good. However, regular grooming is another part of regular veterinary care that is often underestimated. Having a clean and tangle-free coat is crucial for skin health, and groomed nails and clean teeth help with your pet’s overall health. When you take in a pet, you accept all the responsibilities that go along with it. One of the biggest is making sure that your animal is safe, happy, and healthy. Not only does your pet become a part of your family, but they take up a piece of your heart forever, and the last thing would ever want is to see someone you love hurt or in pain. Making sure that your pet visits the vet on a regular basis is critical if you want them to have the best life possible. Contact our Veterinary Clinic today!
