Animal Health Center of Franklin

Preventive Care

Dental Care
The Animal Health Center of Franklin is a full service animal hospital and welcomes both pet patients in need of routine medical, surgical, and dental care as well as emergency treatment cases. Beyond first rate pet care, we make our clinic comfortable, with a home like setting, so you and your pet can relax in the waiting room and look forward to meeting one of our Franklin veterinarians.
Vaccination
A cat's air of independence does not mean that it can take care of all its own needs. Cat owners have important responsibilities such as providing food and water, social interaction, and changing the litter box regularly. Remember, cats have only one life, not nine! To prevent life-threatening diseases and enjoy a healthy life, your cat will require regular veterinary medical checkups and vaccinations as well. Ask your veterinarian about the common signs of feline illness.
Behavioral Counseling
You should make sure that you are purchasing a healthy bunny. It is best to select a young bunny. He should have clear eyes and a nose free of any mucus. The bunny should be curious and friendly. Check to see the bunny has been spayed or neutered. Most are breeders and pet stores do not alter their pets. You will want to have your new friend spayed or neutered between 4 and 6 months age. An altered pet will reduce the risk of that famous bunny reproduction and will prevent certain health and behavioral problems. In the United States, bunnies do not typically require vaccines, but be sure to check with your veterinarian to confirm the protocol in your area. Bunnies do, however, require vaccines in the United Kingdom. They always need annual check ups and fecal tests for parasites.
Nutritional Counseling
