Preventative Care at The Animal Hospital of Roxbury
Preventative care is the cornerstone of a long, healthy life for your pets. At the Animal Hospital of Roxbury, we focus on proactive, personalized care to keep your dog or cat feeling their best—year after year.
What Does Preventative Care Include?
1. Wellness Exams
Annual or semi-annual exams allow our veterinarians to detect early signs of illness, monitor chronic conditions, and track your pet’s health over time.
2. Vaccinations
Staying current on core and lifestyle-specific vaccines protects your pet from serious, and often contagious, diseases. We tailor vaccine plans to each pet’s age, environment, and risk factors.
3. Parasite Prevention
Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites can pose serious health threats. We’ll recommend effective, year-round prevention based on your pet’s needs and lifestyle.
4. Nutrition & Weight Management
A balanced diet supports every aspect of your pet’s health. We can help you choose the right food and monitor your pet’s weight to prevent obesity-related issues.
5. Dental Health
Oral care is essential for overall health. We provide dental exams, professional cleanings, and at-home care guidance to prevent pain and infection.
6. Behavior & Lifestyle Counseling
From puppy and kitten training to managing anxiety or age-related changes, we’re here to support your pet’s emotional well-being too.
7. Senior Pet Care
As pets age, their healthcare needs evolve. We offer tailored wellness plans to keep senior pets comfortable, mobile, and happy in their golden years.
Preventative care helps us catch problems early, when they’re easiest to treat, and helps you avoid unexpected health emergencies. Think of it as a lifelong partnership—we’re here to help you give your furry family member their healthiest, happiest life.
