Regular examinations, vaccinations, screenings, and other medical procedures provide your veterinarian with information about your pet’s body, organs, and overall health. By looking at your pet on a regular basis and measuring changes in their health, issues can be detected earlier, and you and your veterinarian can follow through with treatment sooner to avoid illness becoming more costly in the future. This approach to pet healthcare is called preventive care.

Preventive care includes services such as routine checkups, necessary vaccinations, intestinal parasite screens, and recommended blood and urine screens. It may also include dental cleanings and other recommended services. Your pet’s age, species, breed, and overall health status will determine which services are needed in their preventive care protocol.

Services also often include spaying and neutering your young pet, as well as blood screening to establish baseline information for early detection of potential health threats in the future.

Absolutely! In fact, regular checkups and screenings are an essential part of ensuring problems are caught as early as possible – a crucial part of keeping your senior pet happy and healthy as long as possible.

Petly Plans are affordable monthly payment plans for your pet’s preventive care services. These care plans were created by veterinarians to help make taking care of your pet convenient and affordable. Petly Plans allow you and your vet to customize a plan to meet your individual needs and budget and arrange monthly payments for those services instead of a lump sum once or twice a year.
