At Gentle Care Animal Hospital, we believe that a key factor to keeping your pet healthy and happy is an annual health examination and practicing preventative medicine. Regular physical exams help us establish an overall health profile of your pet and are useful for tracking trends and being aware of potential health problems before they become difficult and costly to treat. Routine check-ups can detect disease in the early stages, improving your pet’s ability to fight back.
Our wellness visits focus on preventative medicine based on the specific life-stage of your pet. Each patient is assessed individually according to factors such as species, breed, age, and environmental challenges. Preventative care measures that we recommend include:
