What is Pet Wellness Care?

Pet wellness care at Bliss Animal Hospital encompasses a holistic approach to pet health. It starts with Wellness & Annual Exams, where our skilled veterinarians perform comprehensive check-ups, assess your pet’s overall health, and provide tailored recommendations for their well-being. These annual visits are essential for early issue detection, preventing potential health complications, and ensuring a long and happy life for your pet.

Wellness Care & Annual Exams

Regular Wellness & Annual Exams are the cornerstone of preventive veterinary care. During these visits, our experienced veterinarians conduct thorough physical examinations, assess your pet’s overall health, and discuss their medical history and lifestyle. This comprehensive evaluation helps identify potential health concerns before they escalate. We recommend annual wellness exams for pets, but more frequent visits may be necessary for senior pets. Delaying or skipping annual exams can lead to undiagnosed health issues that could become severe over time. +

Preventive Medicine & Early Detection Labwork

Preventive Care & Early Detection Labwork plays a crucial role in your pet’s well-being. Regular bloodwork and diagnostic tests are essential for uncovering underlying health issues, even before symptoms manifest. Early detection leads to timely interventions and improved outcomes for your pet. Typically, younger pets may require annual labwork, while senior pets benefit from more frequent assessments, as undetected health issues can progress, leading to more severe problems. Consult our team for recommendations based on your pet’s age and breed. +

Comprehensive Oral Health Assessments

A pet’s oral health is often overlooked but is critical to their overall well-being. Our Comprehensive Oral Health Assessments go beyond cleaning teeth; they help prevent periodontal disease, which can lead to systemic health issues. A healthy mouth is essential for your pet’s quality of life. Annual dental check-ups are recommended, with at-home dental care in between, as dental issues can lead to pain, infection, and other health problems if left untreated. +

Lifestyle-based Vaccinations

Preventive veterinary care involves customized lifestyle-based vaccinations for your pet’s protection. We assess your pet’s unique needs and risk factors to determine the most appropriate vaccines. Vaccination schedules are tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and health status, typically starting with puppy or kitten shots and adjusting as they age, as over-vaccination can lead to adverse reactions, while under-vaccination puts your pet at risk of preventable diseases. +

Parasite Testing and Prevention

Preventive veterinary care involves customized lifestyle-based vaccinations and titer testing Parasites pose a significant threat to your pet’s health. Our preventive care includes regular parasite testing to detect common internal parasites. +

Flea and Tick Control

Fleas and ticks are more than just nuisances; they can transmit dangerous diseases. Our preventive care includes highly effective flea and tick control methods to provide your pet relief from itching and prevent potential health complications. Year-round flea and tick control is recommended for most pets, with seasonal variations depending on your location, as fleas and ticks can cause allergic reactions, transmit diseases, and lead to anemia if left untreated. +

Heartworm Prevention

Heartworm disease is a severe and potentially fatal condition transmitted by mosquitoes. Our heartworm prevention program ensures your pet remains heartworm-free. Regular medication safeguards your pet’s heart and overall health. Monthly heartworm prevention is crucial in areas with a mosquito presence, and yearly testing is essential for early detection, as untreated heartworm disease can lead to heart and lung damage, organ failure, and, in severe cases, death. +

Diet and Nutrition Counseling

Proper nutrition is the cornerstone of your pet’s health. Our diet and nutrition counseling services provide tailored advice to meet your pet’s unique nutritional needs. Whether it’s weight management, addressing specific health issues, or selecting the right diet, we’re here to guide you. Regular dietary assessments ensure your pet’s nutritional needs are met throughout their life stages, as inadequate nutrition can lead to obesity, allergies, and various health problems. Overfeeding or feeding the wrong diet can be detrimental to your pet’s health. +

Microchipping

Microchipping is a valuable tool for reuniting lost pets with their owners. This tiny device, the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under your pet’s skin and provides a permanent means of identification. It’s a simple, painless procedure that offers invaluable peace of mind. Once implanted, a microchip lasts a lifetime, providing a permanent means of identification. Losing your pet without proper identification can lead to separation and heartache. Consider microchipping your pet to ensure a higher chance of being reunited if they ever get lost. Register the microchip with your current contact information to maximize its effectiveness. +
