IMPORTANCE & INFORMATION

Yearly visits to the vet clinic is important in the prevention and early detection of different diseases and problems your pet can have.  Remember, it's easier and much more cost effective to prevent diseases than it is to treat them.

A veterinarian can detect issues in your pet at it's early stages allowing them to address the problem quickly and effectively.

**Animals age faster than us.. so a visit to the vet once a year is like us not going to the doctor's for over 5 years!**
