Preventive medicine is the best tool we have to prevent chronic health issues in our pets. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and that’s especially true for animals that age much faster than their human owners. Wellness exams, regular dental care, vaccinations and flea or tick prevention are all crucial parts of your beloved pet’s wellbeing.
These aspects of routine care are important, but they often seem easy to put on the bottom of your ever-growing to-do list. With access to a mobile veterinary service like 4Paws, you can take the stress out of getting your pet in to see the veterinarian (or the anxiety of constantly putting it off for another month).
Wellness exams are one component of routine care. These are meant to identify potentially life-threatening medical conditions early or prevent them from appearing in the first place. At a wellness visit, our vet may suggest lifestyle or feeding changes to prevent the development of illnesses down the road.
