Preventive Care: 4 ways to improve your pet’s health and happiness over the next 4 months: Wellness Bloodwork, Dental Cleaning, Proper Diet Awareness, and Microchipping
During the month of September, we are focusing on Super Wellness Blood Profiles. This bloodwork is a complete chemistry panel testing 22 blood values as well as a urinalysis. It is a great way for our doctors to gain information about your pet that they cannot see or feel in a regular examination. The Wellness Bloodwork can be used for early detection of problems, as a pre-anesthetic panel, or just for finding a baseline unique to each pet that makes diagnosing illnesses easier if they come along. Those who take advantage of the Super Wellness Panel during September will receive $20 off the cost, and the panel can be used in preparation for October’s monthly discount!
October is Dental Month! Did you know that dental disease in dogs and cats is more than just bad breath? When plaque and bacteria are trapped in the mouth and gums, it means the body has to filter them from the bloodstream. Having to constantly fight infection taxes the organs - heart, liver, and kidneys, just to name a few. Many clients have commented that their old dogs, “feel young again” after having a dental cleaning. Don’t you wish a trip to the dentist was all it took to give you that extra spring in your step? CareFirst Animal Hospitals are offering $25 off all ultrasonic dental cleanings during the month of October.
Through November CareFirst Animal Hospitals will focus on Proper Diet Awareness. Having your pet on a well-balanced, veterinarian approved diet is essential to good health. During the month of November bring your pet by for a body condition check, and fill out a short questionnaire so that you and your Veterinarian can discuss the proper diet for your pet. We’ll even have a coupon to make the transition to a new, better diet easier on your wallet!
December is Home Again for the Holidays month at CareFirst Animal Hospitals! Don’t spend your holidays searching for Fido; receive a $10 discount on Home Again microchipping during December. No matter how conscientious you are, the reality is that 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime, and most pets who do will end up losing their collar along the way. However, pets with microchips can be scanned at most animal hospitals and shelters, and over 600,000 pets have been returned through this service. Don’t miss out on an easy, lifesaving form of identification for your pet!
