How do I know if my pet needs dental care?
If your pet has bad breath, difficulty eating, excessive drooling, or visible tartar on their teeth, it may be time for a dental exam. Regular dental care is essential for preventing oral health problems.
When should I seek emergency care for my pet?
If your pet shows signs of severe health issues, such as difficulty breathing, intense vomiting or diarrhea, sudden lethargy, injuries, or other critical symptoms, emergency care may be necessary. Fletcher Animal Hospital can provide immediate medical attention when your regular veterinarian is unavailable or you don’t have a family vet.
What is the best time to bring my pet in for a checkup?
It’s recommended to schedule a comprehensive pet exam annually for adult pets and more frequently for senior pets or pets with ongoing health concerns.
Why should I spay or neuter my pet?
Spaying or neutering your pet provides several health and behavioral benefits. It helps prevent unplanned pregnancies and contributes to controlling the pet population. Additionally, these procedures can reduce the risk of certain cancers and other health issues, often resulting in improved behavior. Spaying and neutering can also increase the chances of your pet living a longer, healthier life. Learn more about the spay and neuter process.
