What Is Preventative Pet Care?
As the name suggests, preventative pet care is veterinary treatment specifically designed to prevent a variety of health concerns, illnesses, and infections in dogs, cats, and other household pets. Regular examinations, vaccinations, screenings, and other medical procedures provide your veterinarian with information about your pet’s body, organs, and overall health. By looking at your pet on a regular basis and measuring changes in their health, your veterinarian can detect potential issues earlier and advise you on your treatment options. This allows you to get your pet the care they need sooner, thereby reducing the likelihood of advanced illness and more costly treatment in the future.

The Benefits of Preventative Care for Pets
As a pet owner, you want to make sure that your furry friend is in perfect health—but how can you be sure that they’re happy, comfortable, and healthy? Unlike humans, animals can’t tell us when something is wrong, so it’s important to schedule routine preventative care for your pet.
Preventative pet care offers numerous benefits, including that it allows your veterinarian to:
- Assess your pet’s current health and identify any existing areas of concern
- Detect and diagnose health issues in the early stages
- Provide preventative care services, such as vaccines, boosters, and deworming treatments
- Screen your pet for more serious conditions, such as cancer
- Create a baseline of your pet’s health for early detection of potential future health issues
Preventative care is important for both young and old pets, including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. Illnesses can affect pets of all ages; preventative care in younger pets can include vaccine series to protect against dangerous diseases like distemper and rabies, as well as spaying and neutering and blood screenings.
For older pets, preventative care is crucial for uncovering health concerns early on, which is essential for keeping your senior dog or cat happy, healthy, and comfortable for as long as possible. Senior pet preventative care often involves bi-annual checkups, blood work, urine screenings, dental cleanings, vaccinations, and pest control, among other specialized treatments.
