We at San Marco Animal Hospital take the health of your pet very seriously. Prevention is the best treatment method, and regular check-ups are an easy way to monitor your pet’s health and stop issues before they advance. Routine exams are also a way to keep pet care costs low, making sure your pets receive treatment for problems early on rather than later when treatment could be more complicated or protracted.
-Standard check-up visits include a physical exam of your pet and may also include:
Spay/Neutering: This reliable preventative measure helps with “population control” and can prevent more advanced medical conditions like prostate enlargement, mammary gland cancers, and uterine infections.
Vaccinations: Improving your pet’s immune system can reduce the frequency and severity of illness.
Routine blood work: Monitor your pet’s health with routine blood work, checking for any abnormalities that may signal a potential or underlying issue.
Ear Cleaning: We will remove dirt and debris from your pet’s ear canal, preventing infections, increasing their comfort, and checking for polyps and other issues.
Microchipping: These electronic identifiers can prevent your pet from getting lost.
Nail clipping or grinding: Protect your skin, furniture, and floors by having your pet’s nails painlessly dulled.
Anal sac expression: Regular anal sac expression can prevent these temperamental glands from becoming infected, impacted, or ruptured.
Parasite testing: A wide range of parasites can carry severe disease and can even be spread to humans. Regular parasite testing allows us to treat infestation before it progresses.
Heartworm testing: Preventing heartworms is easy and affordable, but treating infection can be costly. Regular heartworm testing helps keep your pet healthy and your vet costs low.
Dental cleaning – Regularly polishing your pet’s teeth helps keep their gums healthy and comfortable. It can also allow us to catch any developing issues before they worsen.
