Preventative care plays a major role in the health and wellness of your pets. At Hamilton Road Animal Hospital in Columbus, we would like to provide this care to keep your furry friend happy and healthy for years to come. If your cat or dog has not been put on a vaccination schedule, contact Hamilton Road Animal Hospital to schedule an appointment with Dr. Turley or one of our veterinarians.
How Vaccinations Help
When you first become a pet owner, one of our veterinarians will discuss the different types of vaccines that your particular species and breed of animal will need. These vaccinations will help prevent dangerous diseases and infections. Not only will the vaccinations keep your pet safe, but when you vaccinate your pet, you are also contributing to a healthier animal community in our area. The more animals that are successfully vaccinated, the healthier all of the animals in that area will be.
Vaccine Safety
Some pet owners are concerned about vaccine safety. This is an important question we often get asked at our animal hospital. Vaccines have been used safely for years to prevent disease and infection among our pets. Our veterinarians are happy to go over the information for each vaccine that is recommended as part of your pet’s wellness plan.
Other Types of Preventative Care
In addition to vaccinations, there are other types of important preventative measures to consider as well.
Preventing heartworms - Heartworms are a type of parasite that can be fatal to your pet. Talk with your veterinarian about the different heartworm preventatives available.
Preventing fleas and ticks - Fleas and ticks are pests that can carry germs and diseases. Your pet will need an efficient form of flea and tick prevention to keep it safe.
