Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Preventative Care
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
Adult pets should visit once a year, while puppies, kittens, and senior pets may need more frequent check-ups.
What vaccines does my pet need?
Core vaccines like rabies and distemper are essential, while lifestyle vaccines (like Bordetella and Leptospirosis) depend on your pet’s risk factors.
Why is heartworm prevention necessary year-round?
Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes, which can be present year-round in Texas. Monthly prevention is safer and more affordable than treatment.
How can I keep my pet’s teeth healthy at home?
Daily brushing, dental chews, and regular professional cleanings help prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
My pet seems healthy—do they still need preventative care?
Yes! Many diseases develop silently, and early detection through exams and screenings prevents serious health complications.
