Annual health checks help keep pets healthy

We all know the old saying prevention is better than a cure …and we all know it’s true!

Why it’s important

We have regular check-ups and high five ourselves when we come out with a clean bill of health, and if not we take our medicine to get back on track and in-shape. The older we get the more often we slip in for a check-up. Think about your furry friends just for one minute. Our animals age far more quickly than we do – an annual vet visit for your dog is the equivalent of you seeing your doctor every seven years! Kind of puts it in perspective when you think about it.

The most common reason given by owners for not taking their pets for an annual health check is time and for vaccinations … simply forgetting when they are due!

Here at Fur Life Vet we want to remind you about how important that annual health check is for your furry family member. Follow along with us to learn a little about the common diseases that affect our pets, the new technology available that can detect some diseases far earlier than previously possible and the reasons why preventative health management provides better outcomes for you and your pet … hands down.
