Dental health in both dogs and cats is as important as it is for people. As a pet owner, it’s important to know the ins and outs of dental care as your buddy will need an oral exam and a dental cleaning at some point in their life.
Vaccination
Pets today can live longer, healthier lives than ever before—in part because of vaccines that help protect them from deadly infectious diseases. Over the years, vaccines against dangerous diseases have saved millions of pets and virtually eliminated some fatal diseases that were once common. Unfortunately, many infectious diseases still pose a significant threat to dogs and cats that are unvaccinated. Although vaccine programs have been highly successful and vaccines are considered routine today, we (as caregivers) and you (as pet parents) cannot afford to become complacent about keeping pets up-to-date on their vaccinations.

Our veterinarian may choose perform an echocardiogram, or ultrasound of the heart, to get a better look at the heart’s size, strength, and function.
