"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."  This may be even more true for our furry friends who cannot tell us when they are starting to feel a bit off.  Routine wellness exams (yearly for pets aged 1-6 years, and every six months for pets 7 and older), along with appropriate diagnostics, can help us diagnose problems in their early stages when they are more likely to respond to treatment.  Exams and preventative diagnostics and imaging may allow us to diagnose diseases long before symptoms would become apparent.  Wellness exams are also a great time to ask questions about your pet's health, flea and tick issues, nutrition concerns, or to bring up symptoms you have noticed.
For example, arthritis may be diagnosed by physical exam, or sometimes even earlier by x-ray, while the symptoms of arthritis often develop so gradually it may be difficult to otherwise detect until it is in advanced stages.  However, if caught early, a combination of diet, supplements, and medications may significantly slow the progression of the disease, allowing your pet many more years of comfort.
We recommend year round heartworm prevention in the form of a once a month chewable tablet or topical application for dogs and cats.  In addition to protecting against the fatality of heartworm disease or the excruciating treatment for heartworm disease (no appropriate test or treatment is currently available for cats), monthly heartworm preventative also protects your pet (and therefore your family) from many other parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms.
