Pet Wellness Care
Pet Wellness Care in Baltimore, MD
As with your own health, the key to maintaining your pets’ health is preventative medicine. The gradual onset of health problems in an animal that seems healthy often goes unnoticed. Once symptoms appear, the condition may be more difficult or costly to diagnose. At least once and perhaps twice a year, your pet needs a complete physical examination. Remember, your pet's life span is shorter than a person's, and a lot can happen in 12 months. With today's modern science, there are pet vaccinations and preventive treatments available.
With the advancement of preventative medicine, fleas and ticks are no longer the nuisance they once were for your pet. Heartworm testing, parasite checks, and routine blood screens are all useful tools for keeping your pet healthy. The Doctors and staff at Doc·Side will help you decide what preventive measures are right for your pet wellness plan. Let's keep your beloved pets healthy and happy, together.
Yearly Exams are the key to your pet's health
A HEALTHY START FOR PUPPIES AND KITTENS AND CARE FOR YOUR SENIOR PETS
Did you know your new pet should meet their veterinarian as early as six weeks old? During this visit, we'll set your pet on the right path by checking for parasites and worms (and providing deworming treatments), evaluating your pet's overall health, and establishing a pet wellness plan that provides guidance on the proper diet for his or her age and breed, as well as beginning their pet vaccinations and boosters for gradual disease immunity.
For your senior pets, we will use the information from their past medical visits to make sure that they are also on the right nutrition, check weight and behaviors, and adjust their pet wellness plan as needed, as well as work with you to ensure that your pet is as healthy and happy as can be well into their golden years.
