Here's your April Checkup Checklist for preventive care at Bethel Pet Hospital:

  1. Comprehensive Physical Examination: Schedule a comprehensive physical examination for your pet at Bethel Pet Hospital. This allows our veterinarians to assess your pet's overall health, identify any potential issues early on, and provide personalized recommendations for preventive care.
  2. Vaccinations: Ensure your pet's vaccinations are up to date. Vaccinations are essential for protecting your pet against common diseases and illnesses. Our veterinarians at Bethel Pet Hospital can review your pet's vaccination history and recommend any necessary booster shots to keep them protected.
  3. Heartworm Prevention: April marks the beginning of mosquito season, which means it's crucial to start or continue your pet's heartworm prevention medication. Heartworm disease can be life-threatening for pets, but it's easily preventable with the right medication. Our team at Bethel Pet Hospital can help you choose the best heartworm prevention option for your pet.
  4. Flea and Tick Prevention: With the warmer weather comes an increase in flea and tick activity. Protect your pet from these pesky parasites by using flea and tick prevention products recommended by our veterinarians. Regular preventive treatments can help keep fleas and ticks at bay and prevent infestations in your home.
  5. Dental Care: Don't overlook your pet's dental health. Schedule a dental checkup and cleaning for your furry friend at Bethel Pet Hospital. Dental problems can lead to serious health issues if left untreated, so it's essential to prioritize dental care as part of your pet's preventive healthcare routine.
  6. Nutritional Assessment: Ensure your pet is maintaining a healthy weight and receiving proper nutrition. Our veterinarians can perform a nutritional assessment and provide dietary recommendations tailored to your pet's individual needs. A balanced diet is essential for your pet's overall health and well-being.
  7. Parasite Screening: Schedule a parasite screening for your pet to check for common internal parasites such as worms.
