Status Check on Weight
Maintaining a lean body condition throughout growth and into adulthood is an important way to prevent many long term illnesses. With slow growth, good nutrition, optimal body condition and regular exercise, the odds of preventing or delaying illnesses are excellent. You and your veterinarian will partner together to create the best plan for your pet.
Dental Check
When rough tartar accumulates on tooth surfaces and touches the gum line it's time for a professional oral assessment. The tartar below the gum line causes the most significant periodontal disease in pets.
Detection For Early Signs of Heart or Arthritic Conditions
With appropriate management and early detection, your pets can live a happy normal life. It is important to remember that their activity and play may have to be adjusted to accommodate their changing bodies. Your veterinarian can provide specific guidance about those details.
Vaccine Overview
Vaccines have been highly successful in protecting the majority of pets against disease. Your veterinarian will advise you on the appropriate vaccines for your pet based on your pet's relative risks and specific lifestyle. Depending on your locality, some infections may be more or less likely.
Nutrition and General Health
Nutrition is an important part of every pet's overall health plan. Feeding a complete and balanced diet provides pets with the essential nutrients their bodies need. Nutrition can also play a role in management of a number of health conditions.
