One of the most important goals of our job as veterinarians is to prevent diseases before they happen.
This is the main reason that many veterinarians recommend core vaccines and other non-core vaccines based on lifestyle and risk of exposure, as well as heartworm and other parasite testing and prevention, routine blood testing for general health and other diagnostics.
The goal is to set your pet up for success by preventing or limiting the exposure of diseases, and to help your pet have the immunity to protect themselves from infection. With the right plan, many diseases can be prevented and if caught early, treated and cured.
