Question 5

How often should my pets be vaccinated at Lazy 3 Animal Care?

Accepted Answer

Lazy 3 Animal Care recommends that dogs be vaccinated annually with a version of a combo (Distemper, Parvo, Canine Influenza, Canine Hepatitis, Corona and Leptospira) and a Rabies vaccine. We recommend that cats be vaccinated annually with a feline viral respiratory combo and Rabies vaccine.

Puppies can begin receiving their combo shots as early as 6 weeks old, receiving booster shots every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old. Likewise, kittens can receive their combo shots as early as 6 weeks old but only require a single booster 3-4 weeks later.

Both dogs and cats should be at least 12 weeks of age to receive a Rabies vaccine.

Question 6

How do I know when my pet needs a dental performed at Lazy 3 Animal Care?

Accepted Answer

Bad breath, inflamed gums, plaque and tartar buildup, and loose teeth are all of great concern when it comes to the health of your animal's mouth. If you notice any of these signs, Lazy 3 Animal Care recommends that you bring your pet in for a dental checkup or schedule a dental cleaning. If your pet's teeth are not in need of a cleaning at the time of the checkup, we can give you recommendations to help maintain your pet's overall mouth health such as helpful treats/toys, teeth brushing, and other pet safe dental products. Suppose your animal is at greater risk of complications during anesthesia. In that case, we have products that can help improve mouth health and remove plaque and tartar buildup without performing a dental cleaning.

Question 7

Should my dog be on heartworm medication? What happens if I miss a dose of heartworm medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Heartworm disease is very easy to prevent but very difficult and even life threatening to treat. Lazy 3 Animal Care recommends testing your dog annually for heartworm disease before starting on the preventative. If you miss a dose or doses of heartworm preventative, please consult with us immediately.

Question 8

Is it really necessary to bring my dog and/or cat in for a yearly exam at Lazy 3 Animal Care?

Accepted Answer

Examinations are recommended annually by Lazy 3 Animal Care to check for any health issues that may not be apparent to owners. During an annual exam, a veterinarian will examine the pet from head to tail including eyes, ears, mouth, heart/lung sounds, skin/haircoat, etc. At this time, the veterinarian can also address any concerns clients have as well as discuss any potential findings noted during the exam.
