The Importance of Regular Veterinary Visits

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS news@covnews.com

As a pet owner, you desire a long and healthy life for your pet. The preventive health exam is one of the best things you can do for your pet. Many pet owners only take their pet to the vet when he or she is feeling sick or when something has happened. Regular visits to a veterinarian can help to prevent health problems before they start. Regular check-ups and vaccinations can help to keep your pet healthy and avoid diseases that could be life threatening and expensive to treat. Early detection is key. Yearly check-ups allow you to track your pet’s vital signs, so any problems can be treated before they get out of control. Common chronic issues like diabetes and arthritis can be managed better when diagnosed early. Regular vet visits mean earlier detection, which will lengthen your pet’s healthy years.

Pets age more quickly than people do. They have a faster metabolic rate, faster heart rates and shorter life spans. Your pet can’t verbalize in words if something is wrong.
