General Pet Care for the New Year: A Fresh Start for Your Furry Friend

As we wave goodbye to one year and welcome the promise of a new one, many people set wellness goals like losing a few pounds or reconnecting with friends. Don’t leave your furry companion out when mapping self-improvement plans for the months ahead. We at Lancaster Animal Clinic, serving Lancaster, OH, encourage prioritizing your pet’s preventative care in 2024 if you’ve previously lapsed on regular veterinary visits. Your pet’s overall health and longevity might depend on diligent general care.

Annual Veterinary Wellness Exams

Your pet can’t communicate symptoms or concerns verbally when something feels “off” internally. An annual physical exam by a vet near you, however, establishes normal baselines for things like healthy weight, dental status, heart/lung function, musculoskeletal condition, and organ function. This helps us tracking subtle changes year-over-year so we can catch illness early. We can provide care such as updated nutritional counseling, medication adjustment, vaccine boosters, parasite control, and more tailored to your pet’s evolving needs. Make their wellness exam a priority this year.

Prevention Is Better than Cure

Wellness care extends beyond just yearly checkups to include dental cleaning, flea/tick/heartworm preventatives, and joint pain management. Addressing developing  issues promptly or avoiding predictable hazards altogether through protective care measures may costs a fraction of major intervention once advanced disease takes hold. Get ahead of age-related changes proactively with our guidance. Arm your faithful companion to withstand whatever the year may bring by scheduling his routine wellness care this week. Consistent care may yield dividends down the road.
