The Benefits of Quality Preventative Care for Your Pet

Veterinary bills can be expensive. Maintaining proper care of your pet and bringing them in for the recommended visits will mean lower vet costs in general because we can detect and treat many diseases and illnesses before drastic measures must be taken.

You can help in preventing future unnecessary veterinary visits by:

• Taking your pet in for annual or bi-annual wellness visits
• Keeping up to date with immunizations
• Administering suggested (and prescribed) medications
• Using flea and tick preventative products year-round
• Using a heartworm preventative every month, year-round
• Feeding your pet a healthy and nutritious diet
• Brushing your pet’s teeth and fur daily to every other day
• Taking your pet on walks and giving them enough exercise
• Getting your pet groomed regularly (how often depends on the individual animal)

Tailored Wellness Objectives

Wellness lasts a lifetime. Annual wellness testing at our veterinary hospital in Media, PA allows our doctors to identify conditions and diseases in your pet even before signs may be evident. Additionally, screening tests provide information on what’s “normal” for your pet and allow your doctor to quickly evaluate changes in his or her biology.

At Aston Veterinary Hospital, we tailor our wellness objectives to fit each patient’s specific needs. To find out how we can help your pet, call (610) 200-6105.

Why Test Annually?

Pets age roughly five to seven times faster than humans. It’s vital to test every year to screen for diseases and conditions.

Can Testing Save Money?

By testing, your doctor will be able to identify critical patterns in your pet’s biological make-up. Ultimately, early detection will enable a faster and accurate diagnosis, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in tests and critical care.

Pets Have Special Needs at Each Stage of Life

Our veterinary hospital in Media has three specially designed wellness objectives, one for each stage of life.

Puppy & Kitten Wellness (The First Year of Life)

Your young dogs and cats deserve extra attention and care, and our Puppy and Kitten Wellness Programs provide the advice you need. Our veterinarians not only check your puppy or kitten to make sure he or she is growing right, but we share our best practices for raising pets that live long healthy lives.

Junior Wellness (One to Seven Years of Age)

For dogs and cats that are less than seven years of age, Junior Wellness provides our veterinarians with an important baseline set of results from key diagnostic tests. As time goes on, we compare new results with the old to uncover hidden changes in your pet’s health.

Senior Wellness (Greater than Seven Years of Age)

Older pets need special tests and exams to catch age-related diseases such as diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, Cushing’s, and others. In addition to the detailed physical exam, diagnostic blood work, and urine testing, our veterinarians may also recommend an ultrasound, electrocardiograph (ECG) or radiographs (x-rays).
