Comprehensive Vet Care

Animals, just like humans, require vaccination. Immunization against certain diseases can increase the life span of your pet and better their health. Currently, there is a pet overpopulation problem all over the world. Too many unwanted litters lead to overcrowded shelters, and while some of these pets can find loving homes, many are not.

Spaying or neutering your pet prevents unexpected litters to be born. There are also several health benefits to having your pet fixed. Spaying and neutering prevent pets from developing certain kinds of cancer. It also curbs dangerous and destructive behaviors.

Dental maintenance is paramount to your pet’s overall health. Not only does pet dental care eliminate bad breath, but it also prevents dental diseases. Infections in a pet’s mouth can easily spread to the bloodstream, affecting organs throughout the body. Dental care will prevent these dangerous conditions from developing while also keeping your pet clean, healthy, and happy.

Heartworm is a deadly disease that can be transmitted through mosquito bites. Unfortunately, this disease takes around six months before the animal starts showing signs. It can, however, be detected through blood screening. This is why regular veterinary clinic visits are paramount for your pet. If detected late, a heartworm can cause death. A simple pet exam can go a long way in saving your pet.

The outward look of your animal matters too. A clean and tangle-free coat helps in boosting your animals’ skin health. Having your pet’s nails cleaned and trimmed from time to time will prevent your pet from getting their nails caught on anything while also protecting your home from damage. Grooming services provided at Citrus Heights Pet Hospital include nail trims, anal gland expression, hair trims, and baths.
