What monthly preventatives do dogs need?

Dogs need monthly preventatives for heartworms, fleas, ticks, and other parasites. Preventive care helps avoid serious health issues and keeps your pet safe year-round.

What monthly preventatives do cats need?

Cats should be given monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives, even if they stay indoors. These medications help protect your cat from a wide range of parasites.

Why is it important for pets to have preventive care?

Preventive care is essential for early detection of health issues. Routine wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite preventatives ensure your pet stays healthy and can prevent more serious conditions from developing.

How often should you bathe your dog?

Depending on your dog’s breed and activity level, bathing once every 4-6 weeks is generally sufficient. Bathing too frequently can dry out their skin, but regular cleaning keeps them fresh and free from parasites. Certain skin conditions may require more frequent bathing.

How often should you bathe your cat?

Most cats do not need frequent baths, as they are good at grooming themselves. However, long-haired cats or cats with certain medical conditions may require occasional baths.

What happens if you don't brush your dog's teeth?

If you don’t brush your dog’s teeth, plaque and tartar can build up, leading to gum disease, tooth decay, and even more severe health issues such as heart and kidney disease. Regular dental care is essential for their overall health.

How often should you brush your cat's teeth?

It’s recommended to brush your cat’s teeth at least 2-3 times a week. This helps prevent plaque buildup, bad breath, and other oral health issues.

TESTIMONIALS

Having a repro specialist like Animal Clinic is invaluable and gives a breeder resources — I’ve had many finished Champions and continue to develop my 10 generation line with over 200 AKC titles. Having instant access to any dog I store has allowed me to breed to progeny in a way that suits my breeding style.
