Preventative Care

When you adopt a pet, you are responsible for their health. While this means addressing problems when they come up, it also means taking steps to prevent those problems from happening in the first place. Preventative care can be extremely important. At Jimmie Davis Animal Hospital in Bossier City, LA, we are here to help you keep your pet healthy and happy. Here are some important aspects of preventative care.

Preventative Care

Regular Wellness Exams

It is reccomended that you bring your pet to the vet at least once a year. This is true even if your pet seems to be extremely healthy. During these visits, a veterinarian on our team can do pet exams. This is his opportunity to find issues early, sometimes making them easier to treat. You can also have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about issues like pet nutrition, flea and tick prevention, and pet dental care. If you skip these appointments, it gives problems a chance to grow bigger, potentially putting your pet in danger. Schedule your pet wellness appointments as part of your regular pet care for your pet.

Vaccinations

Just like humans, your pet may need to get vaccinated against certain diseases. This is generally done along with the pet exam during the pet wellness visit. A vet at our animal hospital can help you figure out which vaccines your pet needs, as well as help provide them for you. Without vaccinations, your pet may be more susceptible to diseases that could cause severe illness or death.

Regular Exercise

Regular exercise can help them to stay at a healthy weight and keeps their circulation and the rest of their body healthy. It is recommended that you provide plenty of opportunities for your pet to run and play. This might involve buying them special toys or taking them for long walks. If you keep them active, it can establish healthy habits while avoiding major health issues.

Pet Nutrition

Your pet’s diet can also be an important part of pet wellness. A healthy diet can help provide them with the nutrients they need to live a healthy life. It can also help to keep them at a good weight for their body. Make sure that you talk to your animal hospital about which foods are best for your pet’s specific needs. Since diet can be an important part of pet care, you may need to be careful with it.
