How often should a pet receive preventive vet care?
To maintain optimal health, we recommend that young and adult pets undergo preventive care evaluations at least once yearly. For our senior furry friends, evaluations every six months allow us to closely monitor their health status and address any emerging concerns promptly.
At what age is a pet considered geriatric or senior?
While each animal ages differently, we typically consider a pet to be “senior” around the age of 7. However, factors such as size and breed can influence this designation, with smaller pets generally having longer life expectancies than larger breeds. As pets age, their preventive care needs to evolve. At Meow Bark, we adjust our preventive care protocols accordingly, tailoring recommendations for vaccines, vaccine titers, disease screening, and dental and joint support to suit your pet’s changing needs at every stage of life.
What’s included in a preventive pet care visit?
During a preventive care visit at Meow Bark, your pet will receive a comprehensive array of services. This includes a thorough physical examination, administration of any due vaccines or vaccine titers, appropriate lab tests, and a detailed discussion of recommended preventive therapies. These may encompass flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention, dental cleaning, at-home dental support, and joint support to ensure long-term mobility.
Do young pets need regular preventive vet care?
Absolutely! Preventive animal care is particularly crucial for young pets as their bodies and immune systems are still adapting to their environment. By starting preventive care early, we can help them build a strong foundation for a lifetime of good health.
