A common mistake that many new pet owners make is not finding an experienced and trustworthy veterinarian that you can reliably take your pet to. When a dog or cat is as young as six weeks old, they will need to get on a thorough vaccine program to protect against major illnesses, viruses and bacteria. Young pets don’t have a fully developed immune system yet so exposure to other pets and foreign environments can make them more susceptible to falling sick. Illnesses such as rabies, bordetella, parvovirus and distemper are known to cause severe illness and pain in pets. Your pet will also need to take flea and tick prevention medication to protect against these annoying little pests.
Below is a list of common preventative care essentials that vets will perform for your pet:
- Physical examination
- Vaccinations
- Parasite prevention
- Dental health assessment
- Nutritional recommendations
- Behavioral problem management
- Routine blood work
