Wellness Examinations

The gradual onset of veterinary health problems in an apparently healthy pet often goes unnoticed.  Once symptoms appear, the condition may be more difficult or costly to diagnose and treat.  Although age itself is not a disease, it can bring many conditions that - if diagnosed early - can be completely reversed or controlled for extended periods of time.  At least once and perhaps twice a year as they get older, your pet needs a complete veterinary physical examination.

Immunizations

Vaccinating your pet is a simple procedure that is routinely done by veterinarians.  Vaccines are safe, effective and very important to your pet's well being.  Many diseases that were once fatal to your pet are now under control due to the use of modern vaccines.  Puppies and kittens are usually given their first set of vaccinations at seven to eight weeks of age.  Additional booster vaccinations are given by your veterinarian every three to four weeks until the puppy or kitten is about four months of age.  Adult pets will require repeat vaccinations for the rest of their lives.  The Companion Animal Hospital of Milford will help you determine the schedule that is right for your pet.  Diagnosing and controlling parasites such as heartworm, fleas, ticks, intestine worms and others is another important aspect to the overall care of your pet.  Your veterinarian will prescribe safe and effective preventative medicines to help to control these problems.

Dental Services

Animals need regular dental care.  Untreated dental disease causes pain, accounts for loss of teeth, and can lead to serious bacterial infections of the internal organs.  Routine physical exams by your veterinarian include a thorough examination of the mouth.  Regular dental care is an important step in preventing problems.

Laboratory

Laboratory testing plays an integral role in the detection of changes in your pet's health.  Diagnostic tests by your veterinarian can provide essential information by which we can identify and treat diseases and health problems.  Pre-anesthetic work-ups are important for evaluating your pet's health status to increase anesthetic safety.
