Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Dental care is vital to the overall health of any pet. Dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.
• Vaccination
  At Baker Animal Clinic in Stillwater, OK, we believe that one of the most important aspects of caring for your pet’s’ health is vaccinating him or her against possible diseases. There are a variety of diseases which affect our pets, and other animals, so proper vaccination is vital to protecting them from many types of illnesses.

• Nutritional Counseling
  A:  While calories, or lack of them, are the key to weight loss, dietary protein provides a number of benefits that are especially important during weight management.  Increased protein intake stimulates endogenous protein turnover, which is linked to increased energy metabolism.  This results in a significant increase in the postprandial heat increment and a slight overall increase in energy expenditure.  Increased metabolic rate contributes to a negative energy balance and is associated with an increased satiety effect, which can help reduce food intake.  The best-documented benefit from increased dietary protein during weight loss is that it results in greater loss of body fat and reduced loss of lean body mass.  Since lean body mass is the primary driver of basal energy metablolism, preserving lean body mass helps with long term weight control by maintaining a higher energy requirement and reducing the risk for weight rebound (Nestle Purina Pet Care Company).
• Comprehensive Examination
  Our staff will get a chance to talk to you and see if you are having any trouble with your pet. We will also go over diet, preventative medicine, and exercise to ensure that your pet is as healthy as possible. Then, one of our veterinarians will do a complete physical examination on your pet. It is always good to have a baseline in case your pet ever becomes ill. We also want to monitor your pet’s weight, ensuring that your pet stays a healthy weight. It is much easier to start a diet when a pet is a pound overweight instead of fifteen! Our veterinarian will also look for any potential problems. Our goal is to catch any problems before they become major ones. The sooner that we are able to catch a problem, the easier it is to treat it and the more likely that your pet will make a full recovery!
