🐾 The Importance of Preventive Care
Preventive care is the foundation of a long, healthy life for your pet. Vaccines protect against serious and often contagious diseases, while regular check-ups allow us to detect health concerns early—before they become more serious (and expensive).
Dr. Morel emphasizes a whole-pet approach, tailoring vaccine schedules and wellness plans based on your pet’s age, breed, environment, and lifestyle.
