Petly Preventive Care Plans Frequently Asked Questions

What is Preventive Care? Regular examinations, vaccinations, screenings and other medical procedures provide us with information about your pet’s body, organs and overall health. By looking at your pet(s) on a regular basis and measuring changes in their health, issues can be detected earlier and together, we can follow through with treatment sooner to avoid illness becoming more costly in the future. This approach to pet healthcare is called preventive care.

What Does Preventive Care Include?

Preventive care includes services such as routine checkups, necessary vaccinations, intestinal parasite screens and recommended blood and urine screens. It also includes dental cleanings and other recommended services. Your pet’s age, species, breed and overall health status will play a role in determining which services are needed in their preventive care protocol.

Do Young Pets Need Preventive Care? Absolutely!

Illnesses and disease affects the health of puppies and kittens.  Preventive care includes vaccine series to protect against such dangerous diseases as distemper and rabies.  Preventative care also includes spaying and neutering your young pet. You’ll get blood screening to establish baseline information for early detection of potential health threats in the future.
