Our Pet Hospital Happily Celebrates Pet Wellness Month

It’s that time of year again! Pet Wellness Month is a great time for pet owners to remember that preventative care is necessary in keeping their cats or dogs healthy and happy. Our team here at Trinity Pet Hospital in Laguna Hills has put together this list of veterinary care tips to remember.

Schedule an Annual Exam

Routine exams for pets are more than a simple head to paw checkup. They allow veterinarians to thoroughly examine the animal for potential health problems. Many conditions can hinder your furry animals’ life. By catching the illness or disease early on, we can provide the necessary treatment for your furry companions sooner. Schedule an annual exam with our veterinarian to ensure your pets are as healthy as can be.

Spay and Neuter Your Pets

While spay and neuter procedures can keep the pet population under control, they can also provide other benefits. Dogs and cats who have this procedure are less likely to develop major health issues like cancer. Furthermore, many unwanted behavioral problems can be reduced. The risk of your animals wandering out of the house and suffering from an injury are decreased, too.

Dental Care Affects the Health of Animals

Keeping track of your pets' dental health is vital as oral disease can affect other parts of the body. It is essential to schedule dental cleanings with our veterinarian to prevent plaque and tartar buildup, gum disease, and organ failures. You can help reduce bacteria buildup by brushing your pets’ teeth regularly and buying dental chews or treats.

Weight Management and Diet

Excess weight can affect the joints, liagments, and bones in the body, increase the risk for heart disease and diabetes, and decrease the quality of life in pets. It is important to choose the right diet for your furry animals that is based on their breed and size to manage their weight. If you need help with that, feel free to contact us.
