Pet Wellness And Prevention
At Lovell Animal Hospital, we take an individualized approach to everything we do. When you bring your cat, dog, or guinea pig to us for an annual wellness checkup, our recommendations and treatments will be tailored to your pet’s specific needs in regard to age, activity level, daily habits, and health conditions.
Where Personalized Wellness Meets Preventative Care
At Lovell Animal Hospital, we believe that every paw print tells a story. That’s why we don’t simply treat pets; we nurture them. Our foundation is built on personalized care tailored to your furry friend’s unique needs and life stage. And the cornerstone of this approach? Yearly physical examinations and preventative testing.
Think of these checkups as more than just a quick once-over. They’re comprehensive explorations of your pet’s inner world, designed to catch potential health issues early when they’re most treatable. Here’s what you can expect during your pet’s personalized wellness journey at Lovell:
Thorough Physical Examination: Our experienced veterinarians will perform a head-to-tail evaluation, checking for anything from subtle gait imbalances to dental wear and tear. We’ll assess their eyes, ears, heart, and lungs, listening attentively to what their bodies may be telling us.
Tailored Preventative Testing: Based on your pet’s breed, age, and lifestyle, we’ll recommend a suite of diagnostic tests to safeguard their health. This might include:
- Vaccinations: Essential for protecting your pet from infectious diseases.
- Parasite Screening: Identify and eradicate internal and external parasites like worms, fleas, and ticks.
- Bloodwork: Analyze red and white blood cell counts, organ function, and hormone levels.
- Urinalysis: Asses kidney health and detect potential infections.
- Imaging: X-rays and ultrasounds can reveal hidden concerns like joint issues or internal abnormalities.
Open Communication & Collaborative Care: We believe in transparency and partnership. We’ll explain our findings clearly, discuss any potential concerns, and work with you to create a personalized care plan that fits your budget and priorities. This might involve:
- Dietary and exercise recommendations: Adjusting their food and activity levels for optimal health.
- Preventative medications: Prescribing heartworm prevention, flea and tick control, or other medication based on their needs.
- Specialist referrals: Collaborating with experienced specialists if further diagnostics or treatment are required.
Remember, yearly physical examinations and preventative testing are like investments in your pet’s future. They allow us to detect problems before they blossom into major concerns, saving you not only money but also heartache.
