FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your Top Questions Answered

1. What should I do if my pet is showing signs of illness?

If your pet is showing signs of illness, such as lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, inappetence or decreased appetite, it is important to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. Early intervention can prevent more serious health issues and ensure your pet gets the best care. Contact Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness to schedule an appointment and discuss the symptoms with our team. Remember, some symptoms may be signs of serious conditions that require immediate attention.

Regular wellness examinations are crucial for keeping your pet healthy. In comparison, dogs age approximately 7 years for every human year, making it that much more important that your pet has regular wellness visits. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) recommends that adult cats and dogs see their veterinarian a minimum of once yearly. Older pets, and those with underlying health conditions, should have wellness visits every six months. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits to make sure they are on track with preventative care, vaccinations, behavior therapy and training. Regular examinations allow our veterinarians at Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness to monitor your pet’s overall health, screen for underlying diseases, and update vaccinations when needed.

Vaccinations are an important part of preventing serious diseases in pets. The core vaccinations that all pets should receive include rabies, distemper, and parvovirus for dogs, and rabies, feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia for cats. Our veterinarians at Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness will recommend additional non-core vaccines based on your pet’s lifestyle, such as for kennel cough (Bordetella) or Rattlesnake bites, especially if your pet spends time in high-risk environments. It is important to follow our veterinarian’s vaccination schedule for the best protection.

Pets instinctively hide signs of pain, but there are several behaviors to watch for. These can include changes in appetite, difficulty moving or standing up, excessive grooming or licking, whining, panting, aggression, or hiding more than usual. If you notice any of these signs, make an appointment at Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. Regular check-ups help identify pain or discomfort that might not be immediately visible to pet owners.

The current recommendation of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) for cats is spaying or neutering at 5 months of age to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce the risk of certain health problems, such as reproductive cancers and infections. The ideal age for spaying or neutering varies depending on the pet’s breed and size. For most dogs and cats, it’s typically done between 4 to 6 months of age. However, some veterinarians may recommend waiting until your pet is older, especially for larger breeds, due to their slower rate of physical development. Our veterinarians at Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness will guide you on the best time for your pet based on their individual needs.

Dental health is a critical part of your pet’s overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to periodontal disease, which is common in pets and can result in pain, tooth loss, and more serious health problems like heart or kidney disease. The AVMA recommends regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings to maintain good oral health. At home, brushing your pet’s teeth regularly and providing dental chews or toys can help prevent plaque buildup. Ask our veterinarian for advice on the best dental care routine for your pet, and be sure to schedule annual dental exams at Stonebridge Veterinary Wellness to catch any issues early.
