Some services provided for pet families located near the Jacksonville, Fl area:
Routine preventative care is one of the most important ways to keep your family pet happy and healthy. Preventative veterinary services can include general exams, flea and tick prevention, dental cleanings, and other types of diagnostics. By seeing your pet before they become ill, we can spot any problems early when they are often easier to treat.
Vaccines are important to the health of your pet and help them enjoy a long, healthy life. The purpose of pet vaccinations is to help your pet’s body combat a known pathogen in the future. At San Marco Vet, we’ll help you come up with a tailored vaccination program for your pet including both core and non-core vaccinations. Vaccinating your pet is a safe and effective way to reduce the chance of your pet and other animals from contracting deadly diseases and viruses.
We also offer nutritional counseling for your pet. Dietary needs often vary greatly among different breeds. We’ll consider current health including weight, age, and other medical considerations before making recommendations for feeding your pet.
Good dental care is an essential part of routine care for your pet. Oral health issues can translate into other physical health issues for your pet. At San Marco Animal Hospital, we integrate dental care into all our examinations, monitoring the health of your pet’s teeth and gums. We also offer dental cleanings using an ultrasonic scaler to remove harmful bacteria and plaque buildup. Dental cleanings are done under anesthesia.
We encourage all our pet parents to continue with dental care at home by brushing your pet’s teeth, offering treats that promote dental health and feeding your pet a healthy diet. We’re always happy to make recommendations and offer tips for properly caring for your pet’s teeth at home.
