Why is a Routine Vet Visit So Important

Why is a Routine Vet Visit So ImportantYou wouldn’t disregard your own health checkups, so why should your pet? Routine veterinarian visits are one way to monitor your pet’s health.

A routine veterinarian visit can help maintain your pet’s overall health as well as monitor their diet, exercise, and supplementation.

Your pet is a member of your family.

We believe that your pet is a family member. When something is wrong, you can trust our team to diagnose the problem and make treatment recommendations – not just a prescription for antibiotics or expensive surgery.

Our team will become acquainted with your pet and be able to provide customized advice as well as treatment recommendations based on recent medical history and ongoing health concerns.

Vaccinations

Dogs and cats should receive all necessary vaccinations as soon as possible following their initial vaccination. Our clinic strives to provide affordable immunizations and other preventive services.

Heartworm

If your pet is at risk due to the environment in which he or she spends the majority of his or her time (for example, a backyard dog who spends part of the day outside), heartworm testing is also recommended.

Diet and Exercise

During your pet’s routine visit, our team can ensure your pet is within a healthy range. We can also discuss your pet’s diet and lifestyle. Routine exercise and weight management can help prevent certain health conditions, like heart disease and cancer.

Prevention is key to your pet’s wellbeing.

The most important component of everyday pet care is prevention. Even if your pet is healthy, you should keep an eye out for health issues and address them promptly.

However, if your pet is unwell, starting treatment immediately will prevent their condition from worsening. Our veterinarians can create a treatment plan that is best for your pet’s symptoms.

A routine veterinarian visit is an important part of keeping your pet healthy and happy. Proper health maintenance enables you to spend more time caring for your pet, and there are numerous options for determining how frequently you should bring them in for an examination.

We can assist you in maintaining your pet’s optimal health! For more information please contact Utah Veterinary Hospital today.

I brought in my 9 week old kitten who had an injured leg. They were so compassionate and took the best care of him. He is in a splint and will do laser therapy to heal quicker. I am so grateful they had a cancellation and could get me in. Dakota and Dr Rivera explained everything to me with upfront pricing that I could afford. I will be bringing both of my kittens here for all their veterinary needs. Again I am so grateful, a day later and my kitten is comfortable and healing.

My pet rabbit seemed to be in pain and I called Utah Veterinary Hospital to see if I could bring him in for an emergency appointment. They were able to get him scheduled within a few hours, which was miraculous considering we had not been to this clinic before. Tragically, they found my rabbit was too ill to continue living. Throughout the entire process all of the staff were empathic, compassionate, and caring. They even sent a personalized card a week later expressing their condolences. I highly recommend their services and plan to take any future pets there for care. Thank you so much for your support during this hard time for our family.

I was impressed by the vets knowledge as the species of lizard i have aren't super common yet in the pet trade but he knew exactly what was going on and taught me something new. I would recommend this vet for anyone with a reptile or other exotic pet. All the staff were very nice and helpful as well!!
