What does dog preventative care mean? - Advanced Animal Care in Richmond
Dog preventative care is kind of a misunderstanding. We call things like flea, tick, and heartworm products preventative care but, honestly, preventative care is primarily an annual exam, at the very least, by your veterinarian to talk about adding certain prescriptions or making lifestyle changes at home.

Can prevention be used to clear a heartworm infection? - Advanced Animal Care in Richmond
Technically yes, and it's called the slow kill method. It is not recommended anymore. There's a totally different way of treating that now that your veterinarian has to do in a hospital.

Is a recovery period needed after dog microchipping? - Countryside Veterinary Clinic
Nope, we just do it on a regular appointment. Sometimes they're here for vaccines, sometimes they're little puppies. If it’s one of their first few visits, we give them a microchip and away they go.
