At i-Care Veterinary Hospital, we go the extra mile to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. Beyond just treating ailments, we firmly believe that informed pet owners make better decisions for their furry companions. In this blog post, we’ll delve into how i-Care Veterinary Hospital is dedicated to educating our clients about their pet’s health for happier and healthier lifelong companions.
Why Education Matters
At i-Care Veterinary Hospital, we understand that your pet is an integral part of your family, and their well-being is of utmost importance. That’s why we prioritize educating our clients. Knowledge empowers pet owners to provide the best care possible, from maintaining a proper diet to recognizing early signs of illness. We know from experience that educated pet owners make better decisions, especially when it comes time to deal with more serious health issues.
Our Comprehensive Approach
1. Nutritional Guidance
Proper nutrition is the cornerstone of your pet’s health. We offer expert advice on selecting the right food, portion control, and dietary considerations tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Whether you have a young kitten or a senior pup, our veterinarians can help you choose what’s best for your pet’s current age and whatever health conditions they may have.
2. Preventive Care
Preventing health issues is always better than treating them. i-Care Veterinary Hospital provides comprehensive resources on preventive care measures, including vaccinations, flea and tick control, and dental hygiene. We cannot stress the importance of prevention, especially dental hygiene. That’s why we offer a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) that involves a full dental probing and analysis of each tooth, including intra-oral X-rays to check the status of the tooth roots.
3. Treatment Options
When your pet does require medical attention, it’s essential to understand the available treatment options. We provide detailed information about various procedures and therapies, ensuring you can make informed decisions about your pet’s treatment. TPLO surgery and laparoscopic spay are two such procedures that we can provide here at i-Care.
At i-Care Veterinary Hospital, we believe that knowledge is the key to better pet care. Our commitment to educating our clients here in Coombs, Parksville and Central Vancouver Island ensures that you’re equipped with the information you need to provide the best possible care for your furry family members. Together, we can ensure a healthier and happier life for your pets.
