Important Information Every Pet Owner Should Know

The importance of preventative medicine can not be denied. Many disease processes can be treated more effectively with early intervention. Routine examinations can help to diagnose an illness at an earlier stage.

With routine diagnostic testing, a series of internal problems can be detected, including: intestinal parasites, heartworms, liver or kidney disease, cardiac or respiratory malfunctions, anemia, infection, diabetes and other maladies.

Vaccinations help to prevent many deadly diseases that can affect your pet. Even if your pet never leaves the security of your home, he/she may be susceptible to certain viruses. We recommend a series of vaccinations for all young puppies and kittens and an annual physical and vaccination for adult dogs and cats.

Rabies is a virus that affects humans as well as many mammals. For this reason, all dogs and cats in Pinellas are required to be vaccinated and licensed. This ordinance is enforced by Pinellas County Animal Services. Presently there is a 3 year rabies vaccine available in Pinellas County.

The needs of pets from infancy through geriatrics varies considerably. It is the focus of Steele Animal Hospital to educate our clients about the needs of their pets as they grow and age. Annual physical exams allow us to evaluate your pets and meet his/her individual needs.
