Monument East Veterinary Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
This service is dedicated to maintaining the oral health of your dog or cat. Our veterinarian diagnoses and provides treatment for diseases of the dentition, oral cavity, and maxillofacial region.
Vaccination
A cat's air of independence does not mean that it can take care of all its own needs. Cat owners have important responsibilities such as providing food and water, social interaction, and changing the litter box regularly. Remember, cats have only one life, not nine! To prevent life-threatening diseases and enjoy a healthy life, your cat will require regular veterinary medical checkups and vaccinations as well. Ask your veterinarian about the common signs of feline illness.
Behavioral Counseling
You should make sure that you are purchasing a healthy bunny. It is best to select a young bunny. He should have clear eyes and a nose free of any mucus. The bunny should be curious and friendly. Check to see the bunny has been spayed or neutered. Most are breeders and pet stores do not alter their pets. You will want to have your new friend spayed or neutered between 4 and 6 months age. An altered pet will reduce the risk of that famous bunny reproduction and will prevent certain health and behavioral problems. In the United States, bunnies do not typically require vaccines, but be sure to check with your veterinarian to confirm the protocol in your area. Bunnies do, however, require vaccines in the United Kingdom. They always need annual check ups and fecal tests for parasites.
Nutritional Counseling
A complete and balanced diet is one of the fundamental keys to optimizing health and longevity in companion animals. Feeding a healthy diet is a common goal among pet owners and veterinarians but can be difficult to attain for animals with special needs. Pets that require nutritional support during critical illness or that have chronic diseases are at a higher risk of malnutrition, which can lead to undesired complications and a shortened lifespan. The Monument East Veterinary Hospital Clinical Nutrition Department is dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the quality of life for dogs and cats.
Comprehensive Examination
Once a year, you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam, and may include teeth and gum cleaning if needed. Dr. Paul Hurtado will check the health of your pet from head to tail, and you will be very happy you came to Monument East Veterinary Hospital for service.
