Why Are Vaccination and Parasite Prevention So Important?
Vaccinations protect your new pets from contagious and infectious diseases that are very hard to treat, and the only way for them to be fully protected is by giving them all of the vaccines, and by also keeping them away from public spaces until they are at least 16-weeks old. In addition, Parasite Prevention can be performed through various types of treatments such as tablets, topical applications, injections and rinses, among others.
When Should I Spay and Neuter My Pet?
This procedure is strongly advised, not only because it will avoid several behavioral issues, but because it will also prevent future illnesses such as prostatic, testicular and uterine diseases. It is important to highlight that these procedures can be done as early as eight weeks of age, as long as your pet weighs at least two pounds.
Should I Get Pet Insurance?
In order to give your pets the medical care they need, sometimes a Pet Insurance Plan is the best option. This way, you can manage the costs of emergency care, accidents, illnesses, dental issues, genetic and hereditary conditions, breed-specific conditions and alternative care.
