FAQs About Our Preventative Medicine for Pets in Michigan
Why is preventative care customized for each pet?
Every pet has unique needs based on factors like their age, breed or species, lifestyle, and health history. Customizing our care ensures that your pet receives exactly what they need, from tailored nutrition and exercise plans to preventative health measures. Our goal is to keep your furry friend healthy, happy, and thriving at every stage of life.
Do indoor pets need vaccinations?
Yes, even indoor pets can face the risks of certain diseases. The potential for accidental exposure or contact with outdoor animals makes vaccinations an essential part of their healthcare.
What are zoonotic diseases, and how can preventative care protect against them?
Zoonotic diseases are a category of illnesses that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Preventative medicine including vaccinations, routine parasite prevention, and good hygiene plays a critical role in reducing the risks associated with these diseases.
How do I know if my pet requires additional preventive measures?
During your pet’s wellness exam, we’ll discuss factors such as their lifestyle, health risks, and age to determine any extra preventative treatments or screenings they may need to receive the best care possible.
Preventing
Disorders
Just as the name suggests, preventative medicine helps prevent disorders that would otherwise affect your pet’s health. This helps ensure that you have happy, healthy pets to love and enjoy for many years.
Improving Quality
of Life
A healthy pet will have an improved quality of life. This will allow you and your pet to enjoy your time together to the fullest.
Boosting Life
Expectancy
Through veterinarian preventative medicine, many disorders in pets are discovered in a timely fashion and prevented or managed before they cause adverse health effects to your furry friends. Pets will tend to live longer and happier when they are free from health disorders.
Reducing Infections
to Humans
Some infections of pets are not only dangerous with pets only, they can as well affect their owners if not dealt with properly. Preventative medicine works to prevent such zoonotic conditions so that they don’t affect either pets or their owners.
