A disease can develop quickly, i.e. acute disease, or slowly and gradually, i.e. chronic disease. In either case, early detection is of great importance. Catching a disease in its early phase and alerting your veterinarian:
• Saves your pet the pains and
aches of being sick,
• Gives the veterinarian more
options for treatment,
• Saves medical costs,
• Confers a better prognosis.
Preventive medicine is gaining attention in human medicine. Why is it not the same with our four-legged companions? Most dogs and cats see the veterinarian an average of once or twice a year. However, when you consider their shorter life span and accelerated aging, it means that an average pet gets the equivalent of a 10 minutes check-up only once in 3-7 human years! |
