PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE FOR YOUR DOG

Preventative Health Care for Your Puppies     

Your dog's health depends on you and your veterinarian.  If you own a puppy or an adult dog, like humans, they are at risk for different infectious diseases throughout their lives.  Preventative vaccination programs will help maintain your dogs health against these diseases.  Proper nutrition and regular exercise combined with annual visits to the veterinarian will help maintain the good health of your pet.  In a young dog, a series of vaccinations is given early in life to develop the immune system against disease.

Because your puppy's health and well-being will depend on more than vaccinations, our veterinarians will counsel you on all aspects of caring for your puppy they will answer questions about training and behavior converns, housebreaking and socialization.

As your dog grows the annual physical exam is the best way to ensure continued good health.  It gives the veterinarian an important opportunity to detect and prevent potential health problems as earlly as possible.  The evaluation of your dog's health may include laboratory testing and other diagnostic workups.  Preventative health care measures such as vaccinations, parasite control, proper nutrition, and dental care will be discussed.
