Why Fall Wellness Exams Are Easier at Home (and Just as Important)
Fall can sneak up quickly, especially after a busy summer. It seems like one week you’re enjoying a nightly, late-summer walk, and the next, you’re shuffling kids around to sports and school.
Despite the busyness of the fall, your pet still needs a routine wellness checkup to stay at peak health. The good news is that this doesn’t necessarily mean wrangling your pet to a vet clinic for a stressful visit.
Mobile vet wellness visits are another option. With a mobile veterinary visit from a provider like the Vet Gal and Guys, you and your pet can stay in the comfort of your home.
Here are 3 reasons why you should consider fall pet exams at home.
3 Reasons to Choose Mobile Veterinary Services
1. Less Stress for Pets and People Alike
If you’ve ever dealt with lugging an anxious pet to the veterinarian, you know how much of a struggle it can be. It’s not uncommon for pets to get completely overwhelmed by the sounds, sights, and smells of hundreds of other pets in a veterinary office.
High levels of vet-visit stress can even mask health issues and make exams less accurate. With an in-home pet checkup, your veterinarian can see your pet in his comfort zone and get an accurate picture of his health.
2. Preventive Care Fits into Everyday Life, No Matter How Busy
Fall can be so busy that it can make your head spin. But preventive care is crucial to help keep your pet healthy. A wellness exam does more than keep your pet healthy in the moment. It also helps prevent illnesses in the future.
Mobile veterinarians offer full preventive care at home, including:
- Vaccinations
- Bloodwork and labs
- Parasite prevention
- Nutrition and supplement advice
- Nose-to-tail physical exams
Best of all, you won’t have to deal with the stress of traveling through traffic or waiting in a crowded (and smelly) veterinary office.
3. Mobile Care Works for All Kinds of Families
Mobile veterinary services were once reserved for urgent or emergency care. Not anymore. Now, pet care at home is especially beneficial for households of every shape and size.
If you have multiple pets, senior pets who despise travel, or a busy family with an overflowing schedule, an in-home pet checkup keeps stress levels low.
Let your provider come to you, instead of the other way around.
Preparation for the Cooler Months Ahead
Fall is a time of preparation for cooler months, even here in Texas. You might be putting on fresh coats of paint, switching out your wardrobe, or preparing your yard for the winter.
With mobile veterinary visits, it’s easy to add a wellness exam to that list.
And remember: a quick visit now can save stress and illness later—for you and your pet.
