New Year, Healthy Start: Wellness Tips for Your Pet in 2025
It’s a brand-new year to focus on pet wellness as your pet New Year’s resolution! Making sure your pet is getting all the right preventive care is key to great health and a long life. But we all have busy lives, and pet wellness can fall through the cracks.
So this year, make pet wellness one of your New Year’s resolutions. The team at Borgfeld Animal Hospital has several pet wellness tips to start 2025 on the right paw.
Pet Wellness Tips for 2025
Schedule Routine Health Checkups
One of the most important parts of pet wellness is scheduling regular pet health checkups. These checkups can catch potential health issues early, which helps us make sure your pet stays as healthy as possible. At Borgfeld Animal Hospital, our routine exams cover a thorough assessment, including:
- Physical exam
- Weight check
- Dental exam
- Nutritional advice
- Bloodwork and other diagnostic testing
These services help us catch issues like arthritis, obesity, and heartworm disease early on. This, in turn, gives your pet the best possible chance of thriving despite any health complications. We recommend puppies and senior pets get two preventive checkups per year. Healthy, adult dogs can see us once a year for preventive care.
Stay Up-to-Date on Vaccinations and Parasite Prevention
Keeping your pet’s vaccinations up to date is a vital part of any pet wellness plan. At Borgfeld Animal Hospital, we provide customized vaccination plans tailored to each pet’s needs. We take your pet’s health seriously and will work with you to create a vaccine schedule that feels right for your pet’s lifestyle and age.
We also offer parasite prevention treatments to protect your pet from fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
Schedule a Dental Exam and Cleaning
Oral health is often overlooked, but it’s incredibly important to your pet’s overall health. Dental cleanings and regular brushing at home can prevent painful dental diseases that can impact your pet’s entire body. Our dental services include professional cleanings and exams to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums in top shape.
Monitor Your Pet’s Nutrition and Weight
Maintaining a healthy diet and weight is vital for pets, especially as they age. Our nutrition counseling services help guide you in choosing the right food and portions for your pet. Along with keeping your pet active, proper nutrition helps reduce the risk of joint issues and chronic illnesses.
