Preventative Care

As a pet owner, you want nothing more than to keep your pet healthy and happy. Sometimes, it's hard to know when and how to best care for your pet, and that’s where preventative care comes in. If you live in Richmond, TX, taking your pet for preventive care services at Kindred Care Pet Hospital can help them stay healthy.

Are you still debating whether to follow through with pet exams? Here's a quick guide to the benefits of routine preventative care for your pets.

Preventative Care

Staying Up-to-Date with Vaccinations

Vaccines protect your pet from disease and can be administered at a veterinary office during routine wellness visits. They will protect your pets from viruses such as rabies.

Vaccines can prevent the spread of disease to other animals. For example, if your dog is vaccinated against rabies, it can't contract the disease and then pass it on to another animal. This helps keep all pets healthy and safe.

Catching Health Issues Early

When you take your pet for veterinary care, our veterinarian will examine your pet closely for any signs of illness or disease. If our veterinarian finds a problem, he can treat it early before it becomes more serious.

Early detection is especially important for senior pets, who are more likely to develop health problems. Following a pet exam, our veterinarian can recommend the best course of treatment and help your pet age gracefully.

Keeping Fleas and Other Parasites at Bay

Many parasites can cause serious health problems in pets, so it's important to do everything you can to prevent them. Fleas, for example, can cause anemia in dogs and cats, while ticks can transmit Lyme disease.

Regular pet services can help you keep your pet free of parasites. Our vet can prescribe preventative medication that will help keep fleas and ticks off your pet.

Prevent Dental Issues

Did you know that poor dental health can lead to other health problems in pets? That's why you should take care of your pet's teeth and gums.

Regular brushing at home is a great way to keep your pet's teeth clean, but you can also have their teeth professionally cleaned by our vet. During professional teeth cleaning, we can remove any tartar or plaque that has built up on your pet's teeth. We can identify and treat issues like tooth decay or gum disease.
