Preventative Care

Preventative care is important in keeping your pet happy and healthy. At Apex Animal Hospital in Langley, BC, we provide various services like wellness exams, vaccinations, and dental care, to improve your cat or dog’s wellness. Before you schedule your appointment, learn about the importance of preventative care below:

Regular Veterinary Check-ups

Regular visits with our veterinarians are a fundamental part of preventative care for pets. These examinations allow vets to detect and address any potential health issues early on, before they escalate into more serious problems. During these visits, we will conduct a thorough physical examination, assess your pet's overall health, and provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and parasite prevention.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations prevent infectious diseases that can pose significant threats to your pet's health. By ensuring that your cat or dog is up to date on vaccinations, you can protect him or her from illnesses such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia. Vaccination schedules will depend on factors such as your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk of exposure to certain diseases.

Parasite Prevention

Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites are common pests that can be harmful. Preventative measures such as topical treatments, oral medications, and regular screenings can help protect your furry friend from these parasites. Your veterinarian can recommend the most suitable parasite prevention products based on your pet's individual needs and risk factors.

Dental Care

Just like humans, pets can suffer from dental problems such as tartar buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. Poor dental hygiene can also lead to pain and infections. Routine dental cleanings and at-home dental care can help prevent these issues and ensure that your pet's teeth and gums remain healthy.

Nutrition and Weight Management

Proper nutrition is essential for your pet's overall health and wellbeing. Feeding your furry companion a balanced diet can help prevent obesity and digestive issues. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through portion control and regular exercise can reduce the risk of conditions such like diabetes and joint problems.
