Pet Wellness Care and Preventionin Madison, CT
Examinations for wellness are an important component of keeping your pet healthy.
Regular examinations, when used in conjunction with conventional vaccinations, parasite prevention, and balanced nutrition, are vital for ensuring that your pet’s health remains stable. When you bring them in for their regular checkup, we can prevent health problems from developing, and we can catch them early when they are most treatable.
At CareFur Veterinarians, the medical staff recommends annual or biannual wellness examinations for the same reason that your physician recommends them—if a health issue can be detected in its early stages, there is a greater likelihood that it can be resolved and treated with less expense and greater success.
During your pet’s wellness examination, your veterinarian performs a complete physical to assess your pet’s overall health, and provides you with an opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
