Routine Wellness Care for Dogs and Cats
Comprehensive Dog and Cat Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams are crucial for maintaining your pet’s health. At Allenstown Animal Hospital, we recommend annual wellness exams for most pets. We suggest twice-yearly exams and blood screenings for senior pets—dogs and cats over eight—due to their faster aging process. Our thorough physical exams assess all aspects of your pet’s health, including:
- Ear exam
- Eye exam
- Rectal exam
- Dental exam
- Skeletal exam
- Reproductive system exam
- Internal health evaluation
- Neurological evaluation
- Cardiovascular evaluation
- Nutrition consultation
- Behavior counseling
Essential Dog and Cat Vaccinations
Vaccinations play a vital role in preventing life-threatening diseases in pets. With their developing immune systems, young animals particularly benefit from timely vaccinations. Core vaccines for dogs include Rabies and DA2PPV, while cats need Rabies and FVRCP. Additional recommended vaccines are:
- For cats: FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus)
- For dogs: Bordetella
Even indoor pets can be at risk, making vaccinations essential for all pets. Our veterinarians will advise on the necessary and recommended vaccines based on your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle.
Dog and Cat Microchipping for Safety
Losing a pet can be a distressing experience. Microchipping offers a reliable solution for pet recovery. Unlike collars and tags, microchips provide permanent identification for your pet. The procedure is quick, affordable, and relatively painless. Microchipped pets have a higher chance of being reunited with their owners. Ensure your contact information is up-to-date to maximize the effectiveness of the microchip.
Senior Dog and Cat Wellness Care
As pets age, they require specialized care to manage the challenges of old age. At Allenstown Animal Hospital, we recommend semi-annual exams and blood tests for senior pets to monitor their health closely. Senior exams often include:
- Blood screenings (senior panels) to check red and white blood cell counts and organ function
- Chest X-rays to examine heart size and lung health
- Dental exams to address periodontal disease
Monitoring behavior changes in senior pets is also crucial, as signs of cognitive dysfunction may emerge. Early detection and management of health issues can significantly improve the quality of life for older pets.
