The Benefits of Preventative Veterinary Care 

For many pet owners, a trip to the vet usually means that their pet isn’t feeling their best. However, you can avoid making these last-minute trips to the vet by choosing preventative care measures for your pet. Your pet should see your veterinarian at least once a year for a wellness exam and checkup. Some pets may need to see their vet more frequently, due to age or breed. Your veterinarian will help you understand what cadence is right for you and your pet. 

Just like humans, pets need to see their doctor regularly to stay on top of their health. Regular wellness care can help your vet spot health issues as they are developing, which means that they can intervene before a health problem gets worse. 

An annual wellness exam is a crucial part of your pet’s preventative care. These exams include: 

• A nose-to-tail physical exam
• Routine laboratory testing 
• Parasite prevention measures
• Vaccinations

Each of the services listed above is an important part of your pet’s wellness exam, providing your vet with key details about your pet’s current health. With all this information in hand, your veterinarian will be able to create a profile for your pet that will establish a baseline for your pet’s health. Your veterinarian will use these records to compare against for future visits, helping your vet to spot changes in your pet’s condition. 

Simply bringing your pet to see the vet once a year can go a long way to keeping your pet healthy for the long term. Measures like parasite prevention and vaccinations will also help preserve your pet’s health for many years to come. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
