Preventative Care

Veterinary care protects your pet and improves the length and quality of your pet’s life. When you schedule regular exams for your pet, you can see improvements in your pet’s health and wellness. These exams provide early diagnosis of common issues that affect animals so that you can provide care before the condition develops into something worse. Our veterinarians at Aliso Beach Animal Clinic in Laguna Beach offer a variety of preventative care services. If you would like to protect your pet today and in the future, this is what you need to know.

Every Animal Has Different Preventative Needs

Many factors play into the type of preventative care your pet requires. For example, dogs have different needs compared to cats. Puppies and kittens have different needs from adult and senior pets. Breed, size, and coat type can also play roles in the type of care your veterinarian provides.

Comprehensive Vaccinations

With regular exams, you can prevent common conditions like parvovirus, distemper, rabies, and hepatitis. Vaccinations provide some of the best comprehensive care possible because they protect your pet from some of the common fatal illnesses.

Dogs and cats have different vaccination needs. Young animals require more vaccinations than adult animals, which means that you need to know how often you should bring your pet in for preventative care. For most adult animals, an annual veterinary appointment is sufficient. Young animals may need vaccinations every few weeks.

Parasite Prevention

Ticks and fleas are the most common parasites that impact pet health. Preventative medication can help your pet avoid ticks, fleas, heartworm, and other parasites. Regular treatment helps ensure that your pet never has to live with the side effects of these parasites. If your pet has already been exposed, a wellness exam can help your pet get the necessary treatment.

Diagnostic Tools

Diagnostic tools can help determine if your pet is silently dealing with a major health issue. Blood work, stool samples, and urine samples can provide information about your pet’s potential health concerns. The earlier you pursue treatment, the more effective the treatment will be.
