Health considerations

Disease Prevention

Regular visits ensure overall well-being and early intervention when needed.

 

Viral Diseases

Annual health checks for dogs and cats are crucial in managing and preventing viral diseases. They enable early detection, vaccination updates, and monitoring of overall health

Kittens

Regular health checks for kittens are crucial to catch potential health issues early, ensure timely vaccinations, control parasites, monitor growth, assess dental health, and provide valuable guidance on nutrition and behaviour. These checks help maintain overall well-being and contribute to a longer, healthier life for your kitten.

 

Puppies

As for kittens regular health checks are crucial.  Combining this with regular home observation many health issues can be caught early and rectified easily.  Regularly check your puppy's eyes, ears, mouth, coat, and skin for abnormalities. Monitor behavior, mobility, and elimination habits. Keep vaccinations and parasite control up-to-date and contact Evervet if you have any concerns.

Rabbit & Ferrets

Regular vet visits contribute to the overall well-being and longevity of these pets.

 

Immune Boosting

Vaccinations are an important tool to stimulate the immune system and for us to ensure strong immunity to many preventable diseases in the community.

What Vets Look For During Annual Health Checks

During your pet's annual health check, veterinarians perform a thorough assessment to ensure your pet is in optimal condition. Here are the key areas they focus on: 

  • Physical Examination: Veterinarians perform a head-to-tail examination, checking for abnormalities in the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, skin, coat, and body condition. They palpate for any lumps, bumps, or sore spots. 

  • Vital Signs: Heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature are measured to gauge your dog's basic physiological functions. Any abnormalities can indicate underlying health issues. 

  • Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for your pet's overall health. Veterinarians assess your pet's body condition and offer guidance on nutrition and exercise if needed. 

  • Dental Health: Oral health is crucial for pets, as dental issues can lead to various health problems. Veterinarians check for signs of dental disease and provide recommendations for dental care. 

  • Vaccination Status: Annual health checks are an opportune time to ensure your pet's vaccinations are up-to-date to protect against preventable diseases. 

  • Parasite Control: Veterinarians evaluate your pet for external parasites like fleas and ticks, as well as internal parasites like worms. They can recommend appropriate preventive measures. 

  • Heart and Lungs: A thorough evaluation of the heart and lungs helps detect any murmurs, irregular rhythms, or respiratory issues. 

  • Joint and Mobility: As pets age, joint issues can arise. Veterinarians assess your pet's mobility and joint health, offering advice on managing arthritis or other related conditions. 

  • Behavioural Assessment: Changes in behaviour can indicate underlying health problems. Veterinarians inquire about your dog's behaviour and address any concerns.
