As the sun shines brighter and flowers bloom, April is an exciting month not just for you but for your furry friends too! In Phoenix, spring signals a delightful weather change, making it a great time to refresh your pet's health. At Valet Vet, we know that proactive care leads to healthier, happier pets. With our comprehensive tips, your pets can spring into health this season!
🌼 1. Schedule a Spring Wellness Exam
Every season brings its own health concerns for our pets. Just as you might have a routine spring check-up, your pet deserves the same level of attention. A spring wellness exam helps catch minor issues before they become bigger problems. Valet Vet offers these services right at your door, ensuring your pet stays comfortable and relaxed at home.
During your spring wellness visit, our expert team checks a variety of critical health indicators, including:
Skin and coat health: A thorough assessment can reveal how well your pet’s fur handles seasonal changes. For example, dogs with longer coats may need a spring trim to avoid matting and keep cool.
Dental condition: Good oral hygiene is crucial. Studies show that more than 80% of dogs and cats show signs of dental disease by age three. We can recommend dental products and cleaning for better oral health.
Heart and respiratory function: Monitoring these vital signs helps keep your pet active. Regular check-ups can identify problems early, potentially increasing their lifespan by up to 15%.
Weight and nutrition: Spring is the perfect time to adjust your pet's diet for summer activities. For instance, an overweight dog can lose up to 5% of its body weight with a healthier diet and exercise plan.
Vaccine and preventative updates: Keeping your pet current with immunizations is essential. Vaccines can prevent diseases that may affect up to 90% of unvaccinated pets.
🐜 2. Don’t Skip Parasite Prevention
April brings out fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes in the Valley. These pests can lead to severe health issues, transmitting diseases like heartworm and Lyme disease. To keep your pets safe, don't overlook parasite prevention.
Our recommendation? Utilize prescription parasite preventatives tailored for your pet's needs. At Valet Vet, we offer these treatments and deliver them during your home visit. Not only does this eliminate the stress of remembering medication schedules, but it also ensures your pet receives the right preventative care suited for their lifestyle.
🌿 3. Manage Allergies Before They Flare Up
Is your pet getting itchy, sneezing, or developing red spots in the spring? You’re not alone! Pollen and dust can be as bothersome for pets as they are for us. It's critical to take steps to manage allergies before they escalate.
At Valet Vet, we provide various services to help address allergies, such as:
Allergy testing and medication: Identifying specific triggers can lead to better treatment options tailored to your pet's unique needs. For example, about 15% of dogs are believed to have environmental allergies.
Prescription shampoos and topical treatments: These provide relief for discomfort and soothe irritated skin. Using medicated shampoos regularly can improve your pet's skin condition significantly.
Supplements to support skin and immune health: Nutrition plays a significant role in managing allergies. Omega-3 fatty acids, for instance, can reduce inflammation and improve coat health, making a noticeable difference.
🚗 4. Keep It Convenient with Mobile Care
