Wellness Care for Your Pet

Wellness care is essential for your pet throughout its life regardless of whether it's a puppy or an old animal. Puppy and kittens require regular checks to monitor the growth of their pet and to build immunity against common diseases.

Pet insurance plans provide wellness coverage as an added benefit. Pet wellness coverage is different from pet insurance on a variety of levels.

Vaccinations

Vaccines have been recognized as saving lives more than any other medical treatment. This is because they prevent diseases that could be life-threatening, or cause serious and prolonged suffering, illness, and death. In the majority of cases, prevention is more cost-effective as well as effective than treatment.

Immunizations are a crucial aspect of pet care and can prevent serious diseases in cats and dogs as well as humans. Vaccines are the preparations of dead or altered microorganisms that are given to the body to stimulate the immune system to respond to invaders. This way, the immune system learns to identify and fight the disease-causing organism, without needing to suffer the more severe effects of illness or infection.

Puppies and kittens should receive a full set of vaccinations during the early stages of development to build an immune system that is strong against infectious diseases. Our veterinarian will advise the right vaccinations for your pet based on its age and the type of lifestyle.

The primary vaccines are rabies distemper and parvovirus. They are considered to be essential for all cats and dogs because they guard against deadly infections that are easily transmissible to people. The primary vaccines are administered in two doses at the age of a puppy or kitten and boosters are given every year.

Non-core vaccines may be advised based on lifestyle and risk factors. For example, dogs that frequent groomers, boarding kennels training classes, and dog parks might require vaccination against bordetella (kennel cough) which is extremely contagious, and leptospirosis, an zoonotic disease that could cause liver and kidney failure in both pets and humans.

The hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and the hepatitis C vaccines are also typically recommended for all pets. These help to prevent a number of deadly diseases that can be passed from animals to people and vice versa. A combination vaccine, referred to as a A2PP or FVRCP for cats and canines respectively, protects against the most common infections that can be transmitted between these species. The lyme disease vaccine, which is recommended for dogs that travel in areas where deer are often encountered, protects against the bites of the illegitimately-named deer tick, which can cause the serious bacteria-related infection that is known as Lyme disease.

Fecal Exam

A fecal examination is also referred to as a flotation of the feces is a microscopic inspection of your pet's stool. This will allow your veterinarian to identify intestinal parasites such as hookworms and roundworms. They may also transmit to other pets and family members.

A fecal sample may be collected in a variety of ways. Your vet may use an specially designed fecal sample loop that is inserted in the rectum, and then pulled back to collect an fecal sample. This technique is particularly helpful to identify worms and Www.836614.Xyz cysts. Your veterinarian can perform the test directly by putting the small amount of feces onto a microscope glass. The disadvantage of this type of test is that it's only accurate when the feces sample isn't mixed with fat or cellular material.

Another method is centrifugal float tests. The feces are mixed with a specially-formulated solution to test for eggs of parasites. The eggs will appear to float, and they can be observed under a microscope. This method is more sensitive than direct smears, however, the results depend on the details of the procedure as well as the specifics of the specimen.

Annual fecal exams are the best way to make sure that your pet doesn't have an intestinal parasite infestation that can affect their health and can be passed on to other animals or family members. These conditions can cause discomfort to your pet and may cause more serious conditions requiring treatment. Some intestinal parasites, like hookworms and roundworms can be transferred to humans. This poses a serious health threat.

Fecal testing is an important and easy part of your pet's wellness routine. All pets should undergo test of their feces at least once per year. This is more frequent for puppies and animals living in a space which is conducive to parasites. Intestinal parasites are the primary cause of illness in pets that can cause diarrhea and weight loss as well as vomiting. Fecal tests can identify parasites and blood or other abnormalities which could be signs of disease or infection.

Dental Exam

Pet dental health is a critical part of health care. Without proper dental care teeth of pets can become infected and lead to other health issues, such as tooth decay, bad breath, and even gum disease. These conditions develop when tartar builds up on the teeth, and it affects the tissues surrounding them. The buildup can also move through the bloodstream to other organs like the heart, kidneys and 836614 liver. This increases the risk of developing serious diseases and cause inflammation. Regular dental cleanings and brushing helps keep your pet's teeth clean.

During the dental examination, our vet will evaluate the mouth of your pet for signs of plaque and 836614.xyz tartar. The vet will employ an instrument to remove the tartar build-up and a periodontal probe to examine the gum pockets line, where periodontal diseases begin. X-rays of the entire mouth are taken to examine the bone and roots of the teeth.

Dental exams should be scheduled at least every year, but regular exams are recommended for patients with elevated risks for dental disease or who are in their senior years. The vet will also talk with you about your pet's weight, diet and behavior. If you notice any changes in your pet, your vet will provide helpful information about the cause and recommend additional tests or treatments if needed.

Wellness plans are a great way to pay for preventive treatments and also save money on regular expenses, such as wellness exams, dental cleanings and heartworm testing. These plans are similar in nature to traditional pet insurance plans, but reimburse pre-determined medical costs rather than paying for the entire visit. Our veterinarians are more than pleased to discuss the various plans and options with you.

Parasite Control

Whether of the internal or 836614.Xyz (sneak a peek at this site) external type, parasites are living organisms that feed on your pet, robbing her of vital nutrients. They can also damage her organs and body systems, resulting in a wide range of unpleasant symptoms. In extreme cases (such as heartworms) some of these parasites could be fatal. While many people assume that parasites are a normal part of being a pet's parent however this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Our veterinary team is well versed in the types of parasites you should look for in your area and can help understand www.836614.xyz how these bugs can affect your pet and what you can do to combat them.

Responsible pet parasite control can significantly reduce the risk of transmission of disease to other pets in the home as well as humans. This means administering preventative flies and tick treatment throughout the year, wearing a collar to keep ticks out and grooming your dog regularly particularly after being outdoors. Checking her coat for signs of a parasite infestation such as scratching, chewing, and licking can help ensure she is free of these pests that cause a lot of trouble.

Internal parasites, such as roundworms, whipworms, and tapeworms, typically get acquired through accidental consumption of micro-sized parasite eggs from areas that have been infected by the faeces of affected animals. These parasites are also zoonotic. This means they can be transmitted from animals to humans (and in reverse).

Fleas and ticks can infest any home, even in urban areas with high pet populations. Fleas can cause severe allergic reactions in pets, and also transmit vector-borne illnesses such as cat scratch disease (Bartonella), Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Ticks are also a concern. They can cause allergic reactions, cause itching and cause discomfort in pets and transmit vector-borne illnesses like Lyme disease to humans.

At minimum, all shelter pets should be provided with a basic internal and external parasite control program at time of intake. This should include prophylactic treatment with at least an oral dewormer that's effective against hookworms and roundworms and an insecticide and tick preventative (Nemex and Strongid are most commonly used products).
