Pet Wellness Plans from Baton Rouge Veterinarian

Keeping a pet healthy is one of the main aims of our staff here at Jefferson Animal Hospital and we do that with pet wellness plans tailored to each individual animal. Although our Baton Rouge veterinarian offers emergency services and urgent care, our wellness plans help maintain a pet’s health with preventative care and suggestions based on the age, type, activity level, and lifestyle of your pet. Our wellness plans prevent health issues before they have a chance to begin.

Wellness Starts with Regular Animal Clinic Visits
for Routine Procedures

An annual visit to our animal clinic is the first step in an effective wellness plan. Regular visits give our veterinarians a chance to thoroughly examine the physical health of your pet as well as check in on any changes in behavior, habits,Baton Rouge veterinarians recommend pet wellness or other factors. Regular visits are also a time to schedule necessary vaccinations and procedures, such as teeth cleaning and routine lab tests, that can further help maintain the health of your pet.

A healthy diet is another key component in our animal hospital’s wellness plans. Our veterinarians can ensure your pet is getting the essential nutrients and calories needed to suit their age, type, and activity level. We can also assess if your pet is perhaps getting too many calories, which can cause obesity and other health concerns. We can also recommend nutritious food and treat choices, as well as a feeding schedule, to best suit your pet.

Keeping your pet safe is just as important as keeping your pet healthy, and our clinic offers microchipping in case your pet ever gets lost. A pet microchip, which is a small unit our vet inserts beneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades, is a permanent identification tool. The HomeAgain program stores the information in a central database and immediately alerts you when your pet is found.

If you have questions about pet wellness and prevention, please let our staff know.
