What is PREVENTIVE CARE?
Preventive care for cats and dogs refers to proactive measures taken to maintain their overall health and well-being and prevent the onset of diseases or conditions. It involves routine veterinary visits, vaccinations, parasite control, and general health management practices. Preventive care is an ongoing process and should be customized based on your pet’s individual needs. Consulting with a veterinarian will help create a tailored preventive care plan for your cats and dogs.
Regular Veterinary Examinations
Bringing your pets for routine check-ups allows veterinarians to assess their overall health, detect any potential issues early on, and provide appropriate treatments or recommendations. (Available service at the Houston SPCA Pet Wellness Clinic)
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are crucial for protecting cats and dogs from various contagious diseases. Vaccination schedules can vary depending on the individual pet, but common vaccines include those for rabies, distemper, parvovirus, feline leukemia, and more. (Available service at the Houston SPCA Pet Wellness Clinic)
Parasite Control
Preventing and treating parasites like fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms is an essential part of preventive care. Regular use of preventive medications and periodic screenings help protect your pets from these parasites and the diseases they can transmit. (Available service at the Houston SPCA Pet Wellness Clinic)
Nutrition and Weight Management:
Feeding a balanced diet appropriate for your pet’s age, breed, and health condition is vital. Obesity can lead to various health problems, so maintaining a healthy weight through portion control and regular exercise is crucial. (Learn More)
Exercise and Mental Stimulation
Regular exercise and mental stimulation are essential for keeping your pets physically fit and mentally engaged. Playtime, interactive toys, and daily walks or activities tailored to their needs help prevent behavioral issues and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Spaying or Neutering
If you do not intend to breed your pets, spaying (females) or neutering (males) is recommended. These procedures not only prevent unwanted litters but also offer health benefits and reduce the risk of certain reproductive diseases. (NOT currently offered at The Houston SPCA Pet Wellness Clinic.)
