Wellness Care for Your Pet

Health care is vital for your pet throughout its lifetime regardless of whether it's a kitten or an older animal. Puppies and kittens require routine checkups in order to monitor their growth and increase their immunity.

Pet insurance plans offer pet wellness insurance as a supplement. Wellness coverage for pets is different from pet insurance on a variety of levels.

Vaccinations

Vaccines have been credited with saving lives more than other treatment. They protect against diseases that could otherwise be fatal or cause prolonged and 836614 severe illness, pain, and death. In most instances, prevention is more efficient and less costly than treatment.

Immunizations can be a vital aspect of pet care and they can help prevent serious illnesses in dogs and cats as well as humans. Vaccines are the preparations of dead or altered microorganisms introduced into the body to activate the immune system to react to the invader. In this way, the immune system learns to identify and fight the pathogen without needing to suffer the more serious effects of illness or infection.

Puppies and kittens must receive a full regimen of vaccines during their early developmental stages to establish a strong defense against infectious diseases. Our veterinarian will suggest the correct vaccinations for your pet based on their age and its lifestyle.

Rabies, distemper, and parvovirus are all considered to be essential vaccines. They are vital for all cats and dogs as they guard against deadly infections that can be easily transmitted to humans. The primary vaccines are administered in two injections at the age of a puppy or kitten and then boosters each year.

Non-core vaccines are recommended based on the lifestyle and risk factors. For instance, dogs that frequent groomers, boarding kennels training classes, and dog parks may need to be vaccinated against bordetella (kennel cough) which is highly contagious, and leptospirosis, a zoonotic illness that can cause kidney and liver failure in humans as well as pets.

The hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C vaccines are also typically recommended for all pets. These help to prevent a number of deadly diseases that could be passed on from animals to humans and vice from one to the other. A combination vaccine, referred to as a DAP or FVRCP for dogs and cats respectively, protects against most prevalent infectious diseases that can be passed between the two species. The lyme disease vaccination, which is recommended for dogs that are in areas where deer are frequently encountered, protects against the bites of the illegitimately-named deer tick, which can cause the serious bacteria-related infection known as Lyme disease.

Fecal Exam

A fecal examination or flotation of the feces is a microscopic inspection of your pet's stool. This will allow your veterinarian to identify intestinal parasites like roundworms and hookworms. They can spread to family members and other pets.

There are several ways to obtain the fecal sample. Your veterinarian may employ the specialized fecal loop, which is put into the rectum, and 836614, Https://Www.836614.Xyz/, then pulled back for the collection of a sample. This method is especially useful to identify worms and cysts. Your veterinarian can also conduct a direct smear which involves spreading a small amount of the pet's feces on slides under a microscope. The downside of this type of test is that it's only reliable when the feces sample is not mixed with fat or cellular material.

Another method is the centrifugal float test. The fecal samples are mixed with a special solution to check for eggs that are parasite-infested. The eggs then float and can be visualized under a microscope. The advantage of this method is that it is more sensitive than a direct smear but the results still depend on the details of the procedure as well as the characteristics of the specimen.

The best way to make sure that your pet is not infected by intestinal parasites that may affect his health or be passed to other animals and family members is to have annual fecal exams. These infections can be uncomfortable for your pet and can result in more serious illnesses that require treatment. Some intestinal parasites such as roundworms and hookworms may be transmitted to humans and pose a serious health risk.

It is important to include fecal testing in your pet's routine of health care. All pets should have a Fecal test at least once a year. This is especially important for puppies and animals in an environment that is prone to parasites. Intestinal parasites are a major source of illness in pets and can cause diarrhea, weight loss, and vomiting in many animals. The fecal tests can detect parasites and blood or other abnormalities that could be signs of disease or infection.

Dental Exam

Dental health of your pet is a critical part of wellness care. Without proper dental care teeth of pets could get infected, which can lead to other health issues, such as tooth decay, bad breath, and even gum disease. These conditions develop when tartar accumulates on the teeth, and affects the surrounding tissues. The buildup can also be absorbed into bloodstreams and then travel to other organs, such as the kidneys, heart, and liver. This can cause inflammation and increase the risk of contracting serious diseases. Regular dental cleanings and brushing can help keep your pet's dental health in check.

During a dental examination our veterinarian will look over your pet's teeth for indications of plaque and tartar. The veterinarian will use a scaling tool to remove the tartar and a probe to check for pockets in the gumline, 836614.xyz where periodontal issues begin. To examine the roots and bones of the teeth X-rays are taken of the entire mouth.

Dental exams are recommended at least every year, but more frequent examinations are recommended for those at risk for dental disease or who have reached their senior years. The vet will also talk with you about your pet's weight, diet and behavior. The vet can provide you with information about any changes you notice in your pet and may suggest further tests or treatments if needed.

Wellness plans are an excellent way to save money and fund preventive treatments, such as dental cleanings and heartworm tests. These plans are similar to traditional pet insurance but reimburse pre-determined medical costs instead of covering the entire visit. Our veterinarians are available to review the different plans with you.

Parasite Control

Parasites, both internal and external, are organisms which feed on your pet, and deprive her of vital nutrients. They can also cause damage to her organs and body systems, leading to many unpleasant symptoms. In extreme cases (such as heartworms), some of these parasites can be fatal. Many people believe that parasites will always be an aspect of owning a pet. But, this is not true. Our vet team is knowledgeable about the different types of parasites to look for in your area and can help you understand how these bugs can affect your pet and what you can do to prevent them from happening.

Responsible pet parasite control can greatly reduce the chance of transmitting disease to other pets in the home as well as humans. This includes administering preventative flea-and-tick treatment throughout the year, using collars to keep ticks at bay, and grooming your dog regularly particularly after being outside. Inspecting her coat for signs of a parasite infestation like chewing, scratching, and licking can aid in ensuring she is not afflicted by these pests that cause a lot of trouble.

Internal parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms are usually acquired by accident through the ingestion of parasite eggs that have been discovered in areas that are contaminated by excrement from animals suffering from infection. These parasites can also be zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted from pets to people (and in reverse).

Ectoparasites like ticks and 836614.xyz fleas are most likely to be present in urban areas with large population of pets, but they can infest homes of all kinds. They can cause severe allergic reactions and can transmit vector-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichia and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Ticks are also a problem. They can trigger allergic reactions, cause itching, cause discomfort in pets and transmit vector-borne diseases like Lyme disease to humans.

All shelter pets must be treated with a basic external-internal parasite control protocol when they first come to the shelter. This should include a prophylactic treatment with at least an oral dewormer that is effective against hookworms and roundworms as well as an insecticide and tick preventative (Nemex and Strongid are the most commonly used products).
