Why Preventative Healthcare For Pets Is Important

Why-Preventative-Healthcare-for-Pets-Is-Important

Your pets are your family members, so they should be treated as such. Preventative healthcare, such as attending routine appointments, staying up to date on vaccines, keeping up with medications and more, is vital to keeping your furry friend healthy. To make this easier, University Animal Clinic offers a wellness program dedicated to managing the health of your dog or cat.

So, why is preventative care for pets so important?

 It Does The Talking For Your Pet

Life would be much easier if our dogs could walk up to us and politely ask, “May I go to the restroom?” Unfortunately, our pets can’t talk to us in this way. Since their only communication with their owners is to bark and whine, let preventative healthcare do the talking by allowing the vet to detect if something is off about your pet’s behavior.

It Detects Problems Earlier

Like in human healthcare, the earlier an issue is detected, the easier it can be treated. Routine visits are part of a wellness program, so if something is wrong, your vet can create a plan and provide the proper treatment at once. With our veterinary care, your pet will be in good hands. 

It Saves You Money

Preventative healthcare saves your pet while saving you money in the long run. You can cut costs in the following ways:

  1. University Animal Clinic’s plans offer discounts on your pet’s routine checkups. Members of the Prevention Club have 20% off all the services included in each plan — like unlimited office visits and nail trims — and 15% off all flea and heartworm treatment.
  2. Later operations will not be needed with early detection. For example, with regular teeth cleanings as part of our plan, your pet’s teeth will be healthier, preventing expensive procedures needed to fix gum disease and tooth decay.

It Helps Your Pet Live Longer And Happier

Detecting health issues earlier will bring your pet back to their original condition more quickly, giving them a better quality of life. With early intervention, you can also share some extra years with your pet by addressing things sooner, providing them with a happy and long life.

What Our Clients Have To Say

I wasn’t holding my breath that a vet would work hard to help diagnose my leopard gecko. I was wrong. The doctor worked hard to diagnose why our pet lizard stopped eating & ran a battery of tests.

Paulina Testerman

Vets and staff are knowledgeable and efficient. Clean and friendly Vet office. My dog now goes in to see her Vet with out balking.

Sara Little

Dr. Fink was just super with the Bruiser on his last visit. The entire staff was attentive, caring and professional. We would highly recommend University Animal Clinic to all who love their pets and want the best care for them.

ARF

All employees are amazing with animals. I am glad I found a Vet’s office that makes me feel that my 5 months old puppy is in the best hands

Heide Myrick

Even with full covid-19 protection our Basset was well cared for by the staff, I received detailed home care instructions and got a ‘checking on you’ call the next day. Our basset is on the way to revovery. Perfect outcome. Great caring friendly staff.

Stan Yonkauski

Met Dr. Sam and Dr. Fink today and was very impressed. We have been a client of University Animal Clinic since it opened with Dr. Rill. My wife and I feel very comfortable with these ladies and plan to keep our relationship with them. The staff and Dr’s are very helpful and friendly.

Pet Parent

The very best of care, the entire staff always gives their all and truly cares about both patient and parents! You won’t find a better clinic in Sarasota.

Ron Marano

My dogs, Max and Leo, always have a very positive experience at UAC. The staff is friendly and professional. The office is efficient and clean. I appreciate the ability to check on the dogs’ vaccinations, etc., on the pet portal. Great vet practice.

Ronni Silverman

The entire staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Sam was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and eased my anxiety. Even though I was worried they comforted me, answered all of my questions, and took great care of my fur baby.

Zach Gennette

It is very difficult to find an avian vet who is kind while not sugar coating what can be bad news. I had no idea conures get cataracts as they get older, helped me understand my bird’s actions. The Dr. is wonderful!
