Caring for a New Pet: Reasons to Visit an Anoka Veterinary Clinic


Adding a new pet to your family can be an excited time. Maybe you adopted your new addition or maybe a friend gave you one. Whatever the case is, you'll want to be sure to take your new furry family member to Northern Light Veterinary Services, a local Anoka Veterinary Clinic. At Northern LightsVeterinary Services, we would love to meet your new four-legged family members, so bring them in!

Health
You'll want to make sure your new pet is healthy overall. Just because they look healthy to the naked eye, doesn't necessarily mean they are. Your local Anoka veterinary clinic will be able to perform a physical examination and check for any underlying conditions. It's important to performing this type of an examination, because just like humans, some animals are born with diseases and physical abnormalities. If they are caught near the time of birth, they may be able to be corrected.

New Kitten
Kittens will be checked for parasites. Your veterinarian will perform a check for internal and external parasites. There are different types of parasites such as fleas, ticks and ear mites. Some of them are too small to see with the naked eye, so you'll have to go to an Anoka veterinary clinic to have this type of examination performed.

New Puppy
Worms are common in young puppies. These intestinal parasites can be passed to humans if they are not treated and cured. Also, these worms can cause serious health issues to your puppy. This test will also be able to catch any other underlying infections. Call your local Anoka veterinary clinic to schedule an appointment as soon as you acquire a new pet.

If you have a new pet in your household and it needs an examination, call us today at 763-754-2381 or visit ourwebsite for more information.
