All Animals Veterinary Hospital

We all know that if our pets become ill or injured the first place we would take them is a veterinary hospital.  However, an alarming number of pet owners do not make sure the pets they love so much receive the preventative care they need. It is important to start from the very beginning giving your pets routine, preventative care to better their chances of a long, healthy life.  It is so important for your animals to receive vaccinations not only for their wellbeing but also your family’s wellbeing. Regular veterinary visits and routine vaccinations can protect your pets from a number of diseases.  Rabies shots will protect your animal from it and ensure your family is not at risk of rabies when around your pet. Save yourself and your family the heartbreak of possibly losing a pet that has been exposed to rabies and go to your veterinary hospital and get them vaccinated! The rabies vaccine is required by law so have your Georgia veterinarian vaccinate your pets for rabies, keeping your loved ones safe and yourself legal as a pet owner. Vaccinations against canine parvovirus, canine distemper, canine bordetella, feline leukemia, feline panleukopenia, and other diseases are crucial for your animal. Your local veterinary hospital can make sure your pet gets all the vaccinations they need depending on where you live and what your pet may be exposed to.  There could be necessary preventive care from diseases and viruses that you are unaware of which is why visiting a North Georgia veterinarian can educate you as to what preventative treatments are necessary for your animal. The heartworm vaccine is another important vaccine for all your pets. Heartworm is a condition caused by a parasite that enters your pet’s bloodstream through an insect bite. Heartworm is a dangerous disease that can kill your pet if you do not prevent or treat it. Heartworm is primarily transmitted by mosquitoes which can rarely be avoided in the warm months. Even your indoor pets are in danger because it is almost impossible to make sure those tiny little bugs never enter your home when you open your door. Your Dawsonville veterinary hospital can give you a heartworm vaccine that should be administered to your pet every month. This is such an easy step we can take to love and care for our animals ensuring they stay safe against heartworm. Our pets like our children should be vaccinated to keep them happy and healthy for a long time!

We love our pets like they are our very own children. We bathe them, groom them, brush them, play with them, feed and often even clothe them! They are our babies and our best friends. Our cats and dogs often get the royal treatment so we should love them enough to make sure their health needs are taken care of. Spaying and neutering your pet has many benefits.  For female pets, spaying means they will live a longer and healthier by living uterine infection and breast cancer free.  For male pets, neutering helps prevents testicular cancer. A Dawsonville Veterinary hospital can perform these procedures and make sure your beloved pets live longer lives.  Also North Georgia veterinarians say that it is very cost effective since spaying or neutering is much cheaper than having and caring for a litter. Doing this for your pet is a wonderful way to love them because it will keep them from roaming your neighborhood or trying to get out of your home to reproduce. This could put them in danger of being hurt by other animals both wild and domestic.  You do not want to take your pet to a veterinary hospital because they have been injured; it is much better to take them for a simple procedure of spaying and neutering to keep them out of harm’s way. Another benefit to “fixing” your male pets is that they are much better behaved.  No one likes when their male pets mark their territory in the house or act aggressively. North Georgia veterinarians will tell you that spaying and neutering will not make your pet fat, so that is not a good excuse! Doing this for our own pets is also good for our community. Taking our pet for one afternoon to a veterinary hospital to be spayed or neutered can help ensure our community does not have more animals that are uncared for. Shelters are overflowing with kittens and puppies that families could not support. Fixing your own pet can help fight the pet overpopulation. Not only do we have too many animals in shelters at risk of having to be put to sleep, but also stray animals are a large problem in communities.  They can cause car accidents as well as be dangerous for children and people who try to come in contact with these stray animals. So do your pet, your family, and your community a favor and call All Animals Veterinary hospital today and set up an appointment to spay or neuter your furry family member.
