The Role of the Primary Care Veterinarian

The Role of the Primary Care Veterinarian


Primary care, or general practice, veterinarians do a little bit of everything. Your local veterinarian is likely to be a generalist who treats both healthy and sick animals and is someone who can follow your pet throughout its lifetime and work with you to obtain additional specialty care if needed. Because of this, establishing a relationship with a primary care veterinarian when your pet is healthy is key. On this show, Dr. Wendy Mandese, a primary care and dentistry veterinarian, will discuss why routine wellness examinations are necessary in order to properly manage a pet’s health as it ages, and why an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure when it comes to keeping our four-legged family members happy and healthy.
