Good old Benjamin Franklin coined the saying, and we wholeheartedly encourage it when it comes to your pet's health. That's why we recommend yearly wellness exams and vaccinations at Loftin Veterinary Hospital. The focus of a wellness exam is to maintain excellent health. Wellness exams allow our doctors to detect and treat conditions before acute symptoms present. Yearly vaccinations protect your pet against contagious diseases.
Loftin Veterinary Hospital understands the importance of preventive medicine. That is the precise reason we encourage yearly wellness exams with vaccinations. In fact, we will track you down via email and text to remind you when your pet’s services are due. In addition to the yearly wellness exam with vaccinations, it is critical to protect your dog from heartworms with bi-yearly or yearly injections of ProHeart.
At Loftin Veterinary Hospital, we believe that Proheart is the most effective heartworm preventative currently on the market. Over the past years, the veterinary community has noticed an increase in the number of cases of patients testing positive for heartworms, despite the owner's claims of faithful, monthly heartworm prevention. We have not experienced this with Proheart.
Proheart is a more convenient alternative to heartworm prevention because your dog will only require heartworm prevention every 6 months or 12 months rather than every month.
With ProHeart, you rest assured that your pet received its heartworm prevention because it is given by injection by either the veterinarian or a trained technician.
Overall, we recommend ProHeart because it is a more effective and convenient heartworm prevention option.
The most common disease in dogs and cats is dental disease. Untreated dental disease may lead to loose teeth, infection in the mouth, pain while eating, and even infection in other parts of the body.
Because periodontal disease is a plaque-induced infection, the treatment and prevention of this disease are to have all the plaque removed and the teeth cleaned.
Loftin Veterinary Hospital recommends that patients have their teeth cleaned yearly or every other year to prevent and/or treat this disease before it becomes too severe.
We offer excellent products that control fleas and ticks; no more itchy flea infestations for pets treated at Loftin Veterinary Hospital. We recommend Bravecto, Nextgard, and Comfortis to control fleas.
