Video: "What is Prevention?" (0:44)—Dr. Sanin explains what prevention, in the scope of pet health, means to her.
The key to successful preventive care is timing. You're already aware of this common-sense strategy: The time to prevent a car accident is before it happens, and the time to prevent a child from getting hurt is before the damage is done. Similarly, the time to prevent your dog's health problem is before the onset of the condition, so your vet can find and treat it before it becomes a serious and expensive problem. The only way to achieve such timing is by regularly checking your dog for the initial signs of poor health.
Not only are our veterinarians highly skilled specialists in overall pet care, including corrective health treatments, they also provide routine preventive care for pets in St. Petersburg. We want to ensure that your pet always remains healthy, so we practice early detection and prevention of disease for long-term health and well-being. Our trained staff will examine your pet’s potential health-related problems and offer solutions to prevent complicated conditions in the future.
There are many factors that we consider when examining your dog during a regular wellness visit.
We will evaluate and address these different factors through:
Based on your dog's dental and intestinal health, vaccination schedule, and overall fitness, we can recommend specific dietary changes, exercise regimes, and medications that will give your dog a longer, higher quality life. Our veterinary staff will take the time to listen to your concerns as well and provide you with the best information and care possible.
