In order to offer you the peace of mind you deserve, we recommend preventative care and a wellness plan.
Our pets cannot tell us how they are feeling so a proactive approach to health care is necessary. The appearance of health may be misleading. This is due in part to the fact that it is instinctive for animals to protect themselves and not to show clinical signs of illness. In addition some diseases only show clinical signs late in the disease process. Kidney disease is a good example as up to 75% of function can be loss before clinical signs are observed.
Routine physical examinations and diagnostic testing will provide early detection of disease. This will provide your veterinarian with a better understanding of the overall health of your pet and you the knowledge that you’re doing all that you can do to keep them healthy and happy.
Another important component of health care is emergency and critical care services. There is no substitute for previous hands on experience with an individual patient and knowledge of previous medical history. Continuity of care will provide the best quality of care for your pet. Most people would prefer to see their regular veterinarian if possible at all times including emergencies.
