Preventative Care

Here at Kennett Square Veterinary Hospital, we truly believe in the importance of preventative care as a way to keep pets healthy. Unfortunately, not all of us can prevent, or even avoid unfortunate events. The good news is our ability to do a lot to prolong our valued pet's lives. We want to discuss those things that truly can benefit your pet's longevity.

We recommend routine examinations for your pets because they are the best way to promote overall health. It gives our veterinarians a chance to look at your pets’ overall condition and their weight. It is always good to have a baseline, just in case your pets ever get sick.

Our goal with these examinations is to find any problems before they become serious. The longer these problems go undiscovered, the worse off your pets will be.

However, routine visits are more than just the examination. We enjoy hearing about your pets and how things are going. Conversation also allows us to determine if there might be something to look into further. Determining if your pets are up to date on their vaccinations is also important. We will also make sure you have enough flea and tick medication along with heartworm preventative.

If you have any questions about preventative care or to schedule an appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact us today at (610) 444-6141.
