Adult Pet Care

Adult pets need to be examined at least bi-annually in order to prevent/detect medical problems. Pets age faster than we do and as a result, health problems can progress much more rapidly. Regular wellness examinations will confirm that your pet is healthy or help catch problems before they can become more serious. Your pet's bi-annual veterinary visit should include a health consultation, a physical examination, vaccinations if necessary, an intestinal parasite screening to check for the presence of intestinal parasites, heart worm testing, and a recommendation for an on-going wellness routine.

Diet and nutrition are also important to maintaining your pet's health. Feeding your pet a specially formulated diet to meet the needs of adulthood helps encourage a long and healthy life. Please feel free to consult your veterinarian to help you find the right food to fit with your pet's lifestyle, body condition and health needs.
