Preventative Care for Your Pet

Your pet’s health is our top priority at Town & Country Veterinary Clinic. Routine wellness care plays a vital role in keeping your pet happy and healthy. To help prevent illness and detect potential health concerns early, we recommend a complete physical check-up at least once a year.

During these annual wellness visits, we provide:

  • A thorough nose-to-tail examination to assess overall health and detect early signs of illness.
  • An oral examination to determine if a professional dental cleaning is recommended.
  • A discussion of pet behavior, condition, and lifestyle to address any concerns or changes.
  • Customized vaccination protocols based on your pet’s specific risk factors.
  • Wellness lab work and other diagnostics as needed to monitor internal health.

Pet Care Based on Age and Health Status

Every pet has unique care needs depending on their age and overall health:

  • Puppies and kittens require a strong focus on disease prevention through vaccinations and parasite control.
  • Adult pets benefit from health maintenance, including vaccine boosters, dental care, and weight management.
  • Senior pets are more prone to age-related conditions and may require yearly mature wellness bloodwork and other diagnostics to detect early signs of disease.

Early Disease Detection & Personalized Health Plans

Preventative care also includes early screening for hidden health issues. We utilize:

  • Ultrasound screenings (abdominal and echocardiographic) for early disease detection and internal health assessments.
  • Wellness bloodwork to evaluate organ function and identify potential concerns before symptoms arise.
  • Radiographs (X-rays) to detect joint problems, internal abnormalities, or other health concerns.

Based on these findings, we can create a personalized health plan that may include:

  • Vaccinations for continued disease prevention
  • Bloodwork for ongoing health monitoring
  • Radiographs for deeper diagnostic insights
  • Ultrasound if further evaluation is needed

The Importance of Preventative Care

Preventative care is the key to a longer, healthier life for your pet. By identifying potential health concerns early, we can take proactive steps to prevent disease progression, improve treatment options, and keep your pet feeling their best.

At Town & Country Veterinary Clinic, we are committed to providing advanced, personalized care to support your pet’s lifelong well-being. Schedule your pet’s annual wellness exam today!
