The holidays are all about giving, and what better gift than the gift of good health for your pet? Around the December holidays is a great time to catch up on your pet’s wellness care. Get a head start on a resolution to do the best for your pet with vet services at Westside Veterinary Hospital in Marietta. We partner with pet owners to end the year with peace of mind and a healthier pet.

Schedule Your Pet’s Checkup During December

Between wrapping gifts and making travel plans, pet wellness might not be the first thing on your holiday to-do list. But here's why it should be:

Use Up Year-End Pet Insurance Benefits

If your pet is enrolled in an insurance plan, those benefits often reset at the end of the calendar year. Don’t let them go to waste! Make sure to get well acquainted with what the specific plan is like, as insurance for pets is different from human health insurance. 

Support Your Senior Pet Through the Winter

Older pets often feel the effects of colder weather more intensely, especially if they have joint pain or mobility concerns. An animal hospital, like Westside Veterinary Hospital, can offer age-specific screenings, pain management options, and nutritional support to keep senior pets comfortable throughout the season.

Get Ahead of Spring Health Concerns

Spring may seem far off, but environmental allergies and seasonal health issues often begin in February here in Georgia. A December wellness visit is a chance for the vet to monitor any subtle signs of health changes before seasonal stressors arrive.

It’s a Great Time to Catch Silent Health Issues

Pets are great at hiding discomfort. Regular wellness vet visits detect problems like dental disease, early arthritis, weight gain, or organ dysfunction before they become harder (and more expensive) to manage. Catching issues early can save your pet from discomfort and save you on emergency costs down the road.

Personalized Pet Recommendations for the Year Ahead

A year-end wellness check in a veterinary hospital is a chance to set your pet up for a healthier future. We’ll evaluate lifestyle, nutrition, behavior, and more, so you know exactly what to focus on in the months ahead. Want to set goals for your pet in the new year? A veterinarian can help with that.
