Preventative Medicine - State Ave Veterinary Clinic

Preventative Care

Preventative and wellness for dogs and cats.

Dental Disease

An annual examination is the cornerstone of your pet’s health. The signs of many diseases may be mild or subtle, and a thorough physical examination by a veterinarian can help identify hidden problems or concerns. We focus on developing a relationship with you, your pet, and your pet’s environment to offer the best strategy for preventing infectious disease, parasite control, optimal behavioral health, and monitoring emerging illnesses as they age.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Exams For All Ages

Younger pets should be examined at least annually to maintain a valid client patient relationship and ensure they are prepared for a lifetime of health. For older pets, an annual examination may not be often enough for early detection of age-related concerns; examinations every 6 months may be needed to keep abreast of senior pet changes. Older pets may have concerns with organ function (ie kidney disease), degenerative disease such as arthritis, cancer, and/or thyroid conditions. We may recommend additional testing to ensure your pet’s best health.
