Advances in disease prevention, diet and dental care are enabling pets to live longer, happier lives. Early detection and prevention of diseases are just as important for pets as for people. An ongoing, proactive management of your pet’s health is the objective of our wellness program here at Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital.

Through prevention, early detection and timely intervention, you can have a tremendous impact on the quality of life and longevity of your precious pet.

Regular wellness exams give your veterinarian the chance to evaluate your pet's overall health and to detect problems before they turn into serious illnesses. Because your pet can't tell you in words how he is feeling, the veterinarian must rely on a thorough physical examination and your observations of your pet in order to determine if your pet is truly healthy.

Taking your pet to the veterinarian once a year or more means you are helping your pet live a longer and healthier life. Pet wellness care enhances quality of life and maximizes longevity by preventing and minimizing disease and injury.

6 Reasons Keep your pet healthy with twice-a-year exams:

Pets age faster than people, by age two, most pets have already reached adulthood. By age seven, many pets are entering their senior years.

Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in as little as six months

Today’s pets are living longer than ever, increasing the chance that they will experience a potentially serious illness during their lifetime.

Twice a year wellness exams can help your veterinarian diagnose, treat or prevent problems before they become life threatening.

Twice a year wellness exams provide an opportunity to discuss nutrition, pet behavior and other concerns with your veterinarian

Twice a year wellness exams can help your pet live a longer, healthier, and happier life.
