Questions
How often should my pet have an exam?
Annual exams are recommended for most pets, with seniors needing bi-annual visits. Puppies and kittens require more frequent checkups during their first year.
Why does my pet need dental cleaning?
Dental cleanings prevent bacteria buildup that causes bad breath and systemic diseases. Regular cleanings reduce pain, prevent tooth loss, and avoid expensive treatments.
What happens during a pet dental cleaning?
Teeth are cleaned under anesthesia with pre-anesthetic blood tests. The process includes tartar removal, gum assessment, and oral health evaluation.
Should I let my pet have one litter?
Spaying/neutering offers health and behavioral benefits with no advantages to allowing litters. It prevents overpopulation and reduces disease risks.
What are heartworms and how can I prevent them?
Heartworms are deadly parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. Prevention through monthly medication is critical, especially since cats have no treatment options.
