Mobile Veterinarian - Pet Wellness and Dental Care - Spring Branch, TX

A wellness exam is a thorough physical that allows us to find and treat an illness or disease BEFORE it becomes serious. Often diseases that are caught early are much easier to treat or manage before the symptoms become obvious or noticeable. Many of the diseases that once dramatically threatened or shortened your pet’s life can now be treated or managed effectively if detected early. An important part of your pet’s wellness exam is laboratory testing. Animals can’t tell us where it hurts! Some early diseases can only be detected with laboratory testing. Laboratory testing including bloodwork, intestinal parasite testing, and urine testing, play key roles in disease detection. We believe in the importance of educating pet parents on how to keep pets healthy and happy.

Professional dental care means routine examinations (every 6 to 12 months) to spot early problems, give guidance in oral disease prevention, and when necessary advise a treatment plan. The most common treatment plan is a “dental” procedure described below. This is advised when an excessive amount of dental tartar is present. The rate at which dental tartar deposits on a pet’s teeth depends on how much preventive care is being given at home and on genetic factors of the pet. Certain breeds are also prone to severe dental disease.
