At Bright Vet, we've created an environment where you and your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed while your pet receives the best care and experience from our care team.
Hey, so let's talk about keeping our pets healthy, okay? Preventative care is like the MVP of pet ownership. It's all about being proactive and staying on top of things to ensure our pets live their best lives. That means regular vet check-ups to catch any issues early, staying current on vaccinations to ward off diseases, keeping up with parasite prevention because, well, bugs suck, and paying attention to their diet to keep them feeling their best. It's basically like giving them the VIP treatment so they can stick around for all those memorable moments we cherish.
Wellness exams are routine and take place when your pet is healthy as opposed to when you seek care for an ill animal. Also known as a physical, check-up, or primary care visit, our wellness exams ensure your little (or big) one receives proactive pet healthcare.
Keeping up-to-date with vaccinations ensures your pet stays healthy and safeguards the broader animal community from disease spread.
Every animal’s exercise needs are dependent based on their own unique make-up! Keep in mind the breed, age, and health status of your pet. For example a 2 year old German Shepherd is considered a young working dog that not only needs physical exercise, but may need a job to do whether it be herding or agility. Whereas a 10 year old overweight labrador retriever needs light to moderate exercise with focus on controlled leash walks and swimming. Discussing these questions with your vet will help to customize your pet’ exercise program resulting in a healthier and more stimulated life.
The answer is yes! Providing preventive physical exams, diagnostic testing, and vaccines maintains the health of your pet and keeps you informed of any minor or obvious changes to their health. In the long run, this can help prevent unplanned sick or emergency visits and save on emergency costs. It also bonds you to your pet.
It's totally normal for dogs and cats to experience a bit of decreased physical activity and maybe a touch of swelling or discomfort at the injection site after their shots. Keep an eye out for things like facial swelling, upset tummies, or any other unusual symptoms, and if anything seems off, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Vaccination is more than just a defense against pet illnesses; it's also a smart way to avoid costly vet bills for preventable problems. Additionally, it's like giving your furry friend a superhero cape, safeguarding them from spreading illnesses to other animals and even to us humans.
Taking your furry friend to the vet for wellness exams is key to their well-being and wagging tails! They play a critical role in disease prevention, early detection and treatment, ensuring that our animal companions lead healthy and happy lives. The timing of these visits varies based on factors like breed, age, and lifestyle.
Wellness exams fees vary per veterinary hospital. At Bright Vet, a full head to tail preventative wellness exam is $65. This covers the physical examination of your pet and a consultation with our veterinarian.
