Disease prevention by vaccination, annual heartworm prevention injection, regular intestinal worming and flea treatment greatly reduces the need for urgent visits to the vet. Modern balanced diets have basically eliminated nutritional disease of years past (inadequate calcium, vitamin A toxicity etc). Recently dry food formulas such as Hills T/D diet have been designed to prevent dental tartar accumulation. The most proven prevention for cancer is desexing female dogs at 5 months of age which reduces the risk of mammary cancer by 99%. Desexing female rabbits reduces uterine cancer. Microchipping has proven a god send in reuniting wandering and lost cats and dogs with their owners.

We also manage long-term diseases such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease and lymphoma which can usually be well controlled with medication in both dogs and cats. Diabetes in cats is often treated with a combination of insulin injections and a special diet (Hills MD).
