1. Regular Health Checks
Routine health checks are essential for early detection of potential health issues. During these visits, our experienced veterinarians will conduct a thorough physical examination, review your pet’s medical history, and assess their overall health. We recommend scheduling annual check-ups to monitor your pet’s wellness and to catch any issues before they become serious.
2. Vaccinations
Vaccinations are a vital part of your pet’s preventive care, protecting them from a variety of potentially life-threatening diseases, such as parvovirus, distemper, and rabies. At Koala Park, we create customized vaccination schedules tailored to your pet’s needs, ensuring they are fully protected throughout their lives.
3. Heartworm Prevention
Heartworm disease is a serious condition transmitted by mosquitoes and can be fatal if left untreated. Our team provides effective heartworm prevention options, including monthly oral treatments and annual injections, to safeguard your pets from this deadly parasite.
4. Internal and External Parasite Prevention
Parasites like fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms can cause discomfort and severe health problems for your pets. We offer a range of preventative treatments that target both internal and external parasites, ensuring your pets are protected year-round from infestations and related health risks.
5. Nutritional Advice
A balanced diet is crucial to your pet’s overall health. Our veterinarians offer expert nutritional advice, helping you choose the best diet tailored to your pet’s breed, age, weight, and medical conditions. Proper nutrition can prevent obesity, diabetes, and other diet-related health issues, keeping your pet active and healthy.
6. Behaviour Advice
Understanding your pet’s behavior is key to maintaining their mental and emotional well-being. If your pet exhibits signs of anxiety, aggression, or other behavioral concerns, our team is here to provide advice and recommendations on training, environment adjustments, and strategies to help improve your pet’s behavior.
7. Dental Prophylaxis (Scale and Polish)
Dental health is often overlooked but is critical to your pet’s overall health. We offer dental prophylaxis services, including scale and polish treatments, to remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing gum disease and tooth decay. Regular dental check-ups can also prevent infections that could affect other organs, such as the heart and kidneys.
