Preventative care
Annual or biannual health checks play a crucial role in identifying subtle signs of illness or pain, ensuring that your pet enjoys a long and happier life.
During these health checks, our goal is to empower you as a pet owner to meet your pet’s needs and cultivate the best possible relationship with them. By proactively addressing any potential health issues or concerns, we can work together to enhance your pet’s well-being and overall quality of life. Regular check-ups allow us to provide personalised guidance and support, ensuring that your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.
The ageing of your pet is a natural process and is irreversible. As cats and dogs grow older, their bodies undergo significant changes and their need for care and attention increases. Many diseases associated with advanced age can be prevented or successfully treated.
Some common health problems found in senior pets include:
- Obesity
- Arthritis
- Gum / Tooth disease
- Tumours
- Impaired Senses
- Kidney disease
- Heart disease
- Liver disease
- Behavioural changes
Although some age related diseases in your pet cannot be treated, the onset of many can be delayed or managed successfully if they are detected early.
At Central New Farm Veterinary Surgery, we’re committed to helping your senior pet enjoy their golden years. Contact us today to schedule a senior pet health check and provide your beloved companion with the care they deserve.
One key aspect of pet wellness is protecting them from parasites that can threaten their well-being. We offer a comprehensive approach to parasite protection, addressing common threats such as fleas, ticks, intestinal worms, and heartworms.
Different Types of Pet Parasites:
1. Fleas: Fleas are not only irritating for your pet but can also lead to discomfort and skin issues. They reproduce rapidly and infest your home, making prevention essential.
2. Ticks: Ticks can transmit various diseases, and some are particularly dangerous. Regular tick prevention is vital to safeguard your pet’s health.
3. Intestinal Worms: Worms like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms can affect your pet’s digestive system and overall health. They may also pose a risk to human family members.
4. Heartworm: Heartworm is a potentially life-threatening parasite that can affect dogs and, in some cases, cats. Prevention is the key to avoiding this dangerous condition.
Regular parasite prevention gives you peace of mind, knowing that you’re doing everything you can to protect your beloved companion, allowing them to enjoy more quality time with you. Contact us today to discuss the best approach for your furry friend’s parasite protection and overall well-being.
