Mt Martha, VICVeterinary Preventative Care

We believe prevention is the best medicine. Our veterinary preventative care services are designed to keep pets across Mt Martha, Mornington, Safety Beach, and the Mornington Peninsula healthy, happy, and protected from common diseases and parasites.

Keeping Pets Healthy for a Lifetime

From puppy and kitten vaccinations to senior wellness checks, our experienced veterinary team provides proactive care tailored to each stage of your pet’s life.

What is Preventative Care?

Preventative care refers to the routine health services that help stop problems before they start. This includes:

  • Wellness Exams – Thorough health checks to monitor growth, behaviour, and overall wellbeing.
  • Vaccinations – Protection against dangerous but preventable diseases.
  • Parasite Prevention – Ongoing defence against fleas, ticks, mites, and intestinal worms.
  • Heartworm Testing and Prevention – Essential for protecting dogs from life-threatening heartworm disease.

By focusing on prevention, we can catch health concerns early and ensure your pet enjoys the best possible quality of life.

Why Preventative Care Matters

Regular preventative care appointments allow us to:

  • Detect illness early, when treatment is most effective
  • Provide personalised advice on nutrition, exercise, and behaviour
  • Protect pets from painful and costly conditions caused by parasites or infectious diseases
  • Support senior pets with tailored health monitoring

Neglecting preventative care can put pets at risk of avoidable illness, discomfort, or even shortened lifespans. Our goal is to help families avoid these risks through consistent, proactive veterinary care.

The Benefits for Your Pet

Preventive care gives pets the best chance at a longer, healthier life by keeping disease at bay and allowing them to stay active and happy. It also provides peace of mind for owners, knowing their pets are protected and regularly monitored. Preventing illness is almost always less expensive than treating it, making it a financially smart choice as well as a medically sound one. Most importantly, healthy pets enjoy a higher quality of life, strengthening the bond they share with their families.
