Preventive Care
Dr. Trail and our team believe in “Prehabilitation,” a proactive approach to healthcare. Originally defined as the process of improving a patient’s physical, mental, and nutritional health before a planned surgery or medical procedure, we have expanded this concept to encompass all aspects of your pet’s life.
Preventive care is the foundation of good health. At Gloucester County Animal Hospital, we focus on preventing illness and disability through routine diagnostics, customized vaccination plans, preventive medications for serious diseases like heartworm and Lyme disease, and weight management for orthopedic health.
We tailor our vaccination protocols to each pet’s specific needs. Preventing serious diseases like Parvovirus and Lyme disease is a priority, and we work closely with pet owners to discuss risks and benefits, ensuring an informed decision.
Our approach includes multiple treatment modalities, from peer-reviewed supplements for joint health and behavioral issues to chronic disease management. We provide preventive medications directly from the distributor for heartworm disease, tick control, and internal parasites.
