Did you know cats visit the vet WAY less often than dogs? According to the American Humane Society, feline friends go about half as much!

Often, this means kitty health problems go unnoticed until they're more serious.

Here's why regular vet checkups are purrfect for your cat:

Early detection: Regular exams can catch potential issues before they become major problems.
Preventive care: Vaccinations and medications keep your cat healthy and protected. ️
Baseline health: Knowing your cat's "normal" helps identify changes quickly.
Feline finesse: Cats are masters of disguise! Regular checkups ensure any discomfort doesn't go unnoticed.
Is it time for your cat's checkup? If it's been over a year, or you can't remember the last visit, make an appointment today! ️

Schedule online or call us at 941-351-8888!

**National Immunization Month**

August is all about staying healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations, and that includes our beloved pets! While keeping ourselves protected from diseases is important, ensuring our furry companions are immunized is just as crucial.


Vaccinating your pet is a simple and affordable way to safeguard their health in several ways:

Shields them from life-threatening illnesses: Vaccines prevent many serious diseases that can be devastating for pets, like distemper, rabies, and parvovirus.
Stops the spread of nasty diseases: Vaccinations not only protect your pet but also help control the spread of diseases that can be carried by wildlife and even transmitted between humans and animals.
Safe and effective: The benefits of vaccinations far outweigh any potential risks. Adverse reactions are very rare and usually mild and short-lived.
Essential for all pets, even indoor ones: It's a common misconception that indoor pets don't need vaccinations. Diseases can be spread through open windows or even by you carrying them in on your clothes or shoes.


Wondering which vaccinations are right for your pet? Your local veterinarian is the best resource! They can recommend a personalized vaccination schedule based on your pet's age, overall health, and lifestyle.



Here at Parkway Veterinary Center, we're passionate about keeping your furry family members healthy! Give us a call at 941-351-8888 to schedule an appointment and discuss your pet's vaccination needs.

Did you know we use laser therapy on all non-cancer surgical patients? It’s extremely beneficial for surgical patients because it can help alleviate pain and inflammation, and it speeds healing. Plus, It’s painless, non-invasive and drug-free. If your pet is recovering from trauma or injury, healing from wounds or slowing down due to age, this approach to pain management could be just what the doctor ordered.

To find out if laser therapy is right for your pet or to make an appointment, please call us at (941) 351-8888.
