As pet owners, we want the very best for our furry family members. At French Valley Veterinary Hospital, we believe that preventive care is the foundation of a long, healthy, and happy life for your pet. By focusing on three essential pillars, you can help your pet thrive and avoid many common health problems.
 

Routine Wellness Exams: Building a Strong Health Foundation

Annual or biannual veterinary check-ups are vital, even if your pet appears perfectly healthy. Regular wellness exams allow us to detect early signs of illness before they become serious. These appointments are an opportunity for us to monitor any changes in your pet’s weight, behavior, and overall condition over time.

In addition to checking for signs of illness, Dr. Deol and his team can offer valuable guidance on nutrition, dental care, and your pet’s overall lifestyle. We also make sure you’re up to date on age-appropriate screenings and preventive treatments that are recommended for your pet’s stage of life. Taking a proactive approach means minor concerns can be addressed before they develop into major health issues, giving your pet the best chance for a long and active life.
 

Vaccinations: Protecting Against Preventable Diseases

Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools we have to keep pets safe from potentially life-threatening illnesses. Core vaccines protect against diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, while non-core vaccines can be tailored based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

Keeping your pet’s vaccines up to date not only protects them, but also helps safeguard the community and other animals they may encounter. At French Valley Veterinary Hospital, we work with you to design a personalized vaccination schedule that meets your pet’s unique needs and complies with California regulations.
 

Parasite Prevention: Keeping Pests at Bay

Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites are more than just a nuisance - they can cause significant health problems for pets and their families. Parasite control is an essential pillar of preventive care, and our team offers a range of safe, effective solutions to keep your pet protected year-round. We’ll help you select the right preventives based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and exposure risks. Regular parasite screening during vet visits ensures any issues are detected early, and a consistent prevention routine minimizes the risk of infection and disease.
 

Take the Next Step in Your Pet’s Health

Preventive care is the best gift you can give your pet. By prioritizing routine vet visits, staying up to date on vaccines, and maintaining parasite control, you lay the groundwork for many healthy, happy years together. Our experienced team is here to support you and your pet at every stage of life.
