Why choose home veterinary care? The yearly visit (wellness and preventative care) A yearly physical exam ensures your pets will not suffer ongoing illness and conditions that they can not tell you about. Because our pets have shorter life spans than humans, the onset and progression of disease can be very subtle and undetectable to most caretakers. Dr. Bennett examines your pet in the comfort of its home with superb bedside manner. Your pet's health can be more accurately assessed under these conditions because clinical signs are not masked by the adrenaline-serge caused by coming to the hospital. All measures will be reviewed and offered to help ensure a happier and healthier life for your furry loved ones. Illness -Vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, increased urination, lethargy, coughing are all signs of illness. The sooner these problems are assessed, the better chance of successful treatment and recovery. Dr. Bennett will make sure your pet receives the best treatment within your home and at local referral hospitals if needed. Cuts, abscesses, contusions- Most noncritical trauma can be handledat home. Dr. Bennett employs sedation and local anesthesia (numbing) to suture small lacerations, lance and clean abscesses and to assess other unfortunate mishaps. Behavior- Dr. Bennett is very interested in resolving your pet's behavior problems. Behavioral problems can be misunderstood by the caretaker and resolution depends on modification of family habits and environmental conditions. Dr. Bennett believes it is crucial that behavior consultation take place at the pet's home so that he can assess every aspect of your pet's life and problem. Dr. Bennett will educate you thoroughly and make a plan to bring everything back to normal. Chronic disease and Geriatric care - Unfortunately, some of us must live with the challenge of problems we were born with or acquire as we grow older. Dr. Bennett will provide you with all the knowledge and equipment to make your pet as comfortable, productive, and happy as possible. Oftentimes in-home diagnostics to monitor your pet's condition are more accurate, and treatment regimens can be more successful without the stress of going back and forth to the veterinary hospital. Euthanasia- When the time arrives to say goodbye, taking a pet to a veterinary hospital is not always the ideal situation for both you and your pet . Dr. Bennett will come and help your pet make the transition by employing sedation and perfect bedside manner, all in the comfort of your pet's home, to ensure a peaceful journey.
