Preventative Care
Any loving pet owner will agree: pets enrich our lives! And as attentive pet parents, the best way we can pay our furry friends back is with regular preventative care from Sand Creek Animal Hospital in Albany, NY.
Preventative Care at Sand Creek Animal Hospital
Keeping your pets healthy takes more than just treating them when they’re sick. Pets age almost 7 times as fast as humans do, and your companion needs to visit a veterinarian regularly to monitor any ongoing health issues and catch new developments early on.
At Sand Creek Animal Hospital, we recommend scheduling a wellness exam for your pet at least once a year, and twice a year for senior pets aged seven and older. These visits provide an opportunity to discuss any changes you’ve observed in your pet’s behavior or health. Since you know your pet best, our team works closely with you to develop a tailored healthcare plan that meets their specific needs.
Be mindful of common signs of health issues, including vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, and increased urination. Even subtle changes can indicate underlying problems, so we encourage you to bring up any concerns during your visit.
What Does Preventative Care Involve?
Preventative care involves a detailed assessment of your pet’s overall well-being, including their weight, eye and ear health, skin and coat condition, dental health, and blood chemistry. With our advanced diagnostic tools, we can detect and address potential health concerns early.
Our comprehensive approach to preventative care emphasizes thorough evaluations and proactive strategies to support your pet’s long-term health and well-being.
Vaccinations
By staying up to date with recommended vaccines, you can help ensure your pet’s long-term health while also contributing to a safer environment for other animals and your family.
Fecal Samples
Blood Tests
Dental Cleanings and Radiographs
Routine dental cleanings and radiographs play a vital role in maintaining your pet’s oral health and overall well-being. Professional cleanings help prevent plaque and tartar buildup, lowering the risk of gum disease, infections, and tooth loss. Dental radiographs allow us to identify hidden problems beneath the gumline, such as fractures, infections, and other oral irregularities, ensuring early detection and treatment. Prioritizing your pet’s dental health helps keep them comfortable, pain-free, and happy.
