🩸 They may look healthy on the outside… but what’s happening on the inside?

Our pets are experts at hiding signs of illness, which is why routine wellness bloodwork is such an important part of preventative care. 🐾

🔬 Early screening can help detect changes before your pet shows obvious symptoms, giving us a better opportunity to identify and address potential problems early.

And when it comes to our feline friends, screening is especially important. 🐱 1 in 3 cats will be diagnosed with kidney disease during their lifetime.

Regular bloodwork can help us monitor kidney and liver function, blood sugar, red and white blood cells, and other important indicators of your pet’s health.

❤️ Healthy pets deserve more than just a physical exam -we want to know what’s happening on the inside, too!
Ask us about adding wellness bloodwork to your pet’s next visit.

🫀 Protect the heart that loves you unconditionally

🦟 One mosquito bite can be all it takes. Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects both dogs and cats. Even pets who spend most of their time indoors aren't completely safe from an infected mosquito.

🐶 For dogs: Heartworms can cause severe damage to the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Treatment can be lengthy, expensive, and difficult.

🐱 For cats: Heartworm disease can cause serious respiratory problems and, in some cases, sudden collapse or death with little to no warning. Unlike dogs, there is no approved treatment to eliminate adult heartworms in cats, making prevention especially important.

The hardest part? Your pet may look perfectly healthy while heartworm disease is developing. 💔 The good news? Heartworm disease is preventable!

❤️Consistent, year-round prevention is one of the best ways to protect your pet from a disease that can have devastating consequences.

Protect their heart. Protect their future. 🐾🫀

💉 Vaccines aren't one-size-fits-all! Every pet is different, and their vaccination needs can depend on their age, lifestyle, environment, travel, and risk of exposure.

🐾Core vaccines include:
🐶 Dogs: Rabies • Distemper/Parvo • Bordetella • Lepto
🐱 Cats: Rabies • Feline Distemper

Then there are non-core vaccines, which may be recommended based on your pet's individual lifestyle and risk factors.

Does your pet:
🌳 Spend a lot of time outdoors?
🐕 Socialize with other animals?
🏨 Visit boarding or daycare?
✈️ Travel with you?
🐱 Live with or regularly interact with other cats?

These factors can influence whether additional vaccines may be beneficial.❤️
The goal isn't to give every pet every vaccine - it's to give YOUR pet the protection they need based on the life they live. Not sure if your pet could benefit from additional vaccine protection? Talk to your veterinary team at their next wellness visit! 🐶🐱💉

🐾 Your pet’s health shouldn’t be something you have to “wing it” with! Keeping up with your pet’s routine wellness care is one of the best ways to help them live a longer, healthier life.

That’s where Petly Preventive Care Plans come in! 🩺
✨Our wellness plans bundle recommended preventive care into simple, predictable monthly payments, helping make it easier to stay on top of the care your pet needs.

Depending on your pet’s age, species, breed, and individual needs, preventive care may include:

💉 Recommended vaccinations
🩸 Bloodwork & health screenings
🦠 Intestinal parasite screening
🦷 Dental care
🐾 Other recommended preventive services

From puppy and kitten plans to adult and senior pet care, there are options designed around different stages of your pet’s life.

✨ Why choose a wellness plan?
✔️ Spread the cost of routine care throughout the year
✔️ Stay on track with important preventive services
✔️ Help identify potential health concerns earlier
✔️ Make your pet’s healthcare more predictable and manageable

And remember - Petly Preventive Care Plans are not pet insurance. They are designed to help you manage the cost of your pet’s routine preventive care.
