At Animal Medical Clinic we believe that a healthy pet is a happy pet. That’s why we're dedicating the month of July to raising awareness about preventive care—the proactive steps we can take to ensure your furry family members live longer, healthier lives.
An annual preventive care exam is the most important thing you can do to detect health problems in the early stages and discuss strategies to prevent disease with your veterinarian. The second-most important thing you can do is to keep your pet properly vaccinated. Nothing has prevented more disease and protected more pets than vaccines against common contagious diseases. Annual lab work is also important. A year in a pet’s life is like seven years in our life. A lot can change in that much time.
Preventive care is more than just an annual check-up—it's the foundation of lifelong wellness. Even stay at home dogs and cats need annual exams, vaccines and parasite prevention. An annual exam allows you to develop a relationship with your veterinarian. You get to know them, and they get to know you and your pet.
From exams, vaccines and parasite prevention to dental cleanings, proper nutrition, and early detection screenings, these small, regular efforts can make a big difference in your pet’s health and comfort. Throughout July, we’ll be sharing tips, resources, and reminders to help you stay ahead of potential health issues. Whether you're a new pet parent or a seasoned pro, it’s the perfect time to make sure your pet is up-to-date on all their health needs.
Stay tuned to our blog and social media for helpful info and special offers all month long. Let’s work together to keep tails wagging, whiskers twitching, and pets thriving—because a healthy pet truly is a happy pet!
