Wellness is an important concept, involving regular routine physical examination, history taking and appropriate vaccination. The idea is to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to detecting and treating disease. Wellness care begins at a pets first visit to the vet when young and continues through all their life stages. Through the annual physical examination we can often detect health or behaviour problems before they become a major concern. We can also discuss changing nutritional needs, exercise programs, behaviour, parasite control and the most appropriate vaccine protocol for your pet. Remember, your pet ages much faster than you do and 1 year in your pets life may translate into 5-7 years of aging to us!
