New Year, Healthier Pet: Setting Wellness Goals for 2025

As we welcome 2025, it's the perfect time to focus on our pets' health and well-being. At Five Star Veterinary Center, we're dedicated to providing Gold Standard care for your furry family members. Here are some wellness goals to consider for your pets this year:

1. Schedule Annual Veterinary Examinations

Regular check-ups are crucial for early detection of potential health issues. An annual wellness exam allows us to assess your pet's overall health, update vaccinations, and discuss any concerns.

2. Maintain Up-to-Date Vaccinations

Keeping your pet's vaccinations current protects them from various diseases, including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Ensure your pet receives booster shots as recommended.

3. Prioritize Dental Care

Oral health significantly impacts your pet's overall well-being. Regular dental check-ups, combined with at-home brushing and dental treats, can prevent periodontal disease and other health issues.
