Pet Illness Prevention

Preventative care is a very important part of keeping your pet healthy. At Lange Animal Clinic in Pekin, IL, we can help you. We know how much you value your four-legged family members, and we want to help you keep them strong and healthy. The best way to do that is through scheduled wellness checks, to make sure your pet is doing well and to catch any problems early. If your pet has a chronic health problem, more frequent checkups may be needed to make sure it's being treated the right way, as well. Here's what to know about wellness checks for your pets.

Protect Your Pet from Illness and Disease

A wellness check for your pet is a lot like a yearly checkup for you at your doctor's office. It's a good way to check out basic levels of health, ask questions, and help determine if there are problems that need to be addressed. Pets often hide it when they're not feeling well, because they know in the wild it could put them at risk for predators. A wellness check can help catch issues your pet might not be showing you. Some common symptoms of illness that your pet might show, however, are vomiting and diarrhea, appetite changes, or changes in urination.

Wellness Checks Lengthen Your Pet’s Life

By bringing your pet to our vet for a wellness check, you'll be helping your pet have a longer, happier, and healthier life. There may be a medical problem that needs to be treated, or your pet may be perfectly healthy. You can’t be sure until you talk to our veterinarian. If there's an illness or other issue causing problems for your pet, getting prompt treatment is important in reducing further health complications.
