Knowledge Is Power for Louisville & St. Matthews Pet Owners

We care about your pet just as much as you do. Pets are fun and great companions. However, when you own a pet, it isn’t always easy to keep it healthy. We are here to help. When you see “signs” that things aren’t right—loss of appetite, excessive water consumption, weight gain or loss, unusual behavior, listlessness or fatigue, difficulty getting up or down, or unusual lumps or swellings—contact us. Our website also has information that you may find useful to help better understand your pets and the health issues that can affect them. We can also help you become familiar with topics such as spaying or neutering and general veterinary surgery, pet vaccination requirements and recommendations, preventives, specific ailments, and the risks and benefits of various veterinary procedures.

Selecting the proper diet for your pet is one of the most important things you can do to keep him or her healthy. You should consider factors such as age, weight, and the animal’s level of physical activity. There are many choices in terms of type of food including traditional canned and dry food as well as semi-moist and even fresh. Some pets do better on a feeding schedule, while others seem to thrive on eating when they are hungry. Your St. Matthews Animal Clinic veterinarian can offer advice that’s appropriate for your pet.

Although there is much that you can do to take care of your animal’s health, when there is an emergency—or simply when your pet is behaving in an unusual way—don’t hesitate to contact us.
