Why Preventive Care Matters for Dogs and Cats
Just like people, pets benefit from annual checkups. These visits give our team the opportunity to monitor your pet’s health, answer your questions, and provide the right vaccines, diagnostics, and parasite prevention based on their age, breed, lifestyle, and activity.
Whether your dog is a weekend warrior on the lake or your cat prefers naps in sunny windows, routine care helps protect them from preventable diseases, parasites, and discomfort. It also gives you peace of mind, knowing you’re doing all you can to keep them thriving.
At Smith Lake Veterinary Hospital, we focus on convenient, consistent wellness care that works for busy families, retirees, second-homeowners, and travelers passing through.
