Did you know that indoor pets still need annual exams and vaccinations? 🐾
It’s a common belief that pets who stay indoors are fully protected—but that’s not always the case. Parasites and diseases can still make their way into your home on shoes, clothing, or even other pets.
Dogs, even if mostly indoors, still go outside to potty and can be exposed to illness from wildlife, contaminated ground, or even by eating something they shouldn’t. Heartworms, for example, are transmitted by mosquitoes—so indoor dogs are still at risk. 🦟
Cats may be indoor-only, but accidents happen. If a cat slips outside and gets lost, being up-to-date on vaccines and having a microchip greatly increases the chances of them being returned home safely—and healthy. 🐱
Annual exams allow us to catch potential health concerns early and keep your pet protected year-round.
Preventative care is one of the best ways to ensure your fur-baby lives a long, happy life. ❤️
