This week segment features Dr. Janzen’s dogs Sippi (6 year old chihuahua) and Molani (1 year old dachshund)!!! 🐾 Dr. Emerson and Dr. Janzen are extremely passionate about preventative wellness care. Preventive wellness care is a combination of routine health care and healthy habits that can help your pet stay healthy and detect health problems early!! Preventive care is important because it can help your pet avoid serious health conditions or get early diagnosis and treatment. It can also help you save money on health care. Preventive healthcare involves a multi-faceted approach that includes veterinary evaluation of your pet’s overall health and risks of disease or other health problems. This can include tests such as comprehensive bloodwork, radiographs (X-rays), and ultrasound examinations. Based on the findings, we will provide you with recommendations for your pet’s nutrition, dental care, vaccinations and heartworm/flea/tick prevention, as well as recommendations specifically tailored to your pet’s health status and risk factors. Senior pets are particularly at risk for developing other health conditions, however no dog is too young for comprehensive evaluation and examinations to assess a baseline healthy condition. This allows us to track changes in your pets over time and pick up on some of the more subtle signs. Give us a call today at (662) 524-4155 to schedule your pet for their evaluation.
