Preventative Medicine

Your La Porte veterinarian believes in the power of preventative medicine, which stems from the tenet that it’s much easier to prevent disease before it happens than it is to try to cure it once it sets in.

Personalizing Preventative Care at Animal Hospital of La Porte

At Animal Hospital of La Porte, we recognize that no two pets are the same – so their healthcare shouldn’t be the same either! Our team takes the time to get to know your pet before they craft an approach to preventative care that will best benefit your pet.

We’ll ask you questions about their general health and lifestyle, as well as if they have any preexisting conditions. Other factors, like your pet’s age, breed, and weight, will also affect the recommendations that your La Porte veterinarian will make for their ongoing preventative care.

We will also conduct a physical exam and order laboratory testing to establish a baseline of health for your pet. We’ll use this baseline to compare future results to help us better pinpoint deviations in your pet’s health down the line.

Preventative Care for Senior Pets

Your senior pets can still benefit from comprehensive preventative care! Preventative care for senior pets can save you money and prevent unnecessary suffering. Make sure your aging pet still receives their regular wellness exams from our veterinary team. We’ll keep track of your elderly pet’s health so that we can catch any new illnesses or injuries more quickly.

If you have any concerns about your pet’s health as they grow older, don’t hesitate to reach out to the team at Animal Clinic of La Porte. We’ll work with you and your pet to ensure that you have the support you need to help your pet live out their golden years in good health.

Happy and healthy pets receive regular preventative care.
