🐾 The Importance of Preventive Care for Your Pet 🐾
At New Tecumseth Animal Clinic, we believe that preventive medicine is one of the most effective ways to help dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
Routine wellness screening allows us to identify potential health concerns before clinical signs become apparent, often resulting in earlier intervention and improved outcomes.
Annual Wellness Bloodwork Wellness bloodwork provides valuable information about your pet's overall health and can help detect changes in organ function, blood sugar levels, thyroid function, and other important health indicators.
AccuPlex Testing (Dogs) AccuPlex screening tests for exposure to tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichiosis, as well as Heartworm disease. Many pets show no outward signs of illness in the early stages of these diseases, making routine screening an important part of preventive care.
KeyScreen F***l Testing (Dogs & Cats) Intestinal parasites are common and may not always be detected through a routine f***l examination. KeyScreen testing provides comprehensive parasite screening to help ensure your pet remains healthy while also reducing potential risks to other pets and family members.
Flea, Tick, and Heartworm Prevention Parasites are a concern for both dogs and cats in Ontario, including the New Tecumseth area.
✔️ Ticks can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichiosis to dogs. ✔️ Mosquitoes can transmit Heartworm disease to both dogs and cats. ✔️ Fleas can affect both dogs and cats, causing itching, skin irritation, allergic reactions, and can also transmit intestinal parasites.
Consistent parasite prevention remains the most effective way to protect your pets from these potentially serious health risks.
Preventive care is an investment in your pet's long-term health. We encourage pet owners to discuss wellness testing and parasite prevention with our veterinary team to determine the most appropriate plan for their pet's individual needs.
