The Benefits of Preventative Care
Veterinary bills can be expensive. Maintaining proper care of your pet and bringing them in for the recommended visits will mean lower vet costs in general because we can detect and treat many diseases and illnesses before drastic measures must be taken.
You can help prevent future unnecessary veterinary visits by:
- Planning for Lifetime Wellness Care and scheduling recommended wellness visits
- Keeping up-to-date with immunizations
- Administering the suggested (and prescribed) medications
- Using flea and tick preventative products all year round
- Giving your pet monthly heartworm medication
- Feeding your pet a healthy and nutritious diet
- Brushing your pet’s teeth and fur daily
- Taking your pet on walks and giving them enough exercise
- Regularly getting your pet groomed
Preventative care starts with an annual – or more frequently, depending on your pet’s age and health – wellness exam. At this appointment, we can perform a physical exam as well as any recommended lab work or diagnostic tests.
Our veterinarians firmly believe in the power of preventative care for pets in Saugus. We encourage you to invest in your pet’s health – and we are happy to assist you with those efforts.
