As pet owners ourselves, we understand the importance of pets in our lives! Regular health checks are important as our pets age 7 times faster than we do. Also, our pets are good at hiding their symptoms and not showing that they are not okay. Since pets are unable to verbally express their feelings, it is up to us to be proactive in caring for them and protecting them. Regular health checks help ensure your pet receives the care they need and deserve!
To keep pets healthy, we recommend vaccinating pets especially those in Bali, for a risk assessment tailored to your pet’s vaccination needs. You can book an appointment with a GHSVet veterinarian.
Distemper – An infectious viral disease that causes symptoms of pneumonia, diarrhea, vomiting and neurological disorders – often fatal.
Adenovirus – An infectious viral disease that affects the liver – liver disease Parainfluenza – An infectious viral disease that causes damage to the respiratory organs – Flu.
Parvovirus – Highly contagious viral disease causing extreme gastrointestinal damage, diarrhea, vomiting and severe dehydration. If left untreated, the mortality rate is 100%.
Leptospirosis – A bacterial disease often known as “yellow” disease, transmitted through water contaminated with the urine of some animals such as rodents, small mammals such as raccoons, farm animals. This disease can also be transmitted to humans!
Canine Corona virus – CcoV is an infectious disease that causes gastrointestinal disorders in dogs.
Rabies Vaccine – A deadly viral disease that causes brain and nerve damage, the disease is transmitted from animals to humans (zoonotic) through bites, the mortality rate can reach 100% if symptomatic. Vaccination can prevent the transmission of this deadly disease.
An infectious bacterial disease that can cause upper respiratory tract infections, often referred to as kennel cough, transmission can be through direct contact, droplets in polluted air. Vaccination can prevent transmission of this disease.
Rhinotracheitis Virus (FRV), an infectious viral disease that causes high fever, eye inflammation (conunctivities), upper respiratory tract inflammation (rhinitis), excessive eye discharge and sneezing.
Calici virus, an infectious viral disease that causes mouth and respiratory disease, weakness, and high fever.
Panleukopenia virus – an infectious viral disease that causes indigestion, diarrhea and vomiting, with blood, immunocompromised, dehydration.
Clamydia – a bacterial disease that causes eye infections and eye damage
Rabies – a deadly viral disease causing brain and nerve damage, zoonotic disease transmitted from animals to humans through bites, mortality rate can reach 100% if symptomatic. Vaccination can prevent the transmission of this deadly disease.
Antiparasitics are important to give to anabul from 2 weeks of age, and are given on an ongoing basis. Parasites such as worms, fleas, ticks, mites, lice, heartworms, protozoa and other parasites.
Indonesia is a tropical country, and the environment supports the proliferation of pathogens/diseases that can attack anabul, so there is no guarantee that anabul is free from pathogens/diseases such as parasites. So, giving antiparasites routinely every month provides good enough protection to prevent disease transmission to anabul.
Why do anabul need to be given a microchip?
A microchip is a very small computer chip, smaller than a grain of rice, that is implanted under the skin of a pet. This chip contains a unique ID number that contains a database of animal information and owner data, just like an ID card. The information can be easily accessed via the internet. Microchips are useful when animal owners lose their pets, and make it easier for animal finders to contact the owner by scanning and accessing the data available on the chip.
Research conducted by Linda Lord, DVM, PhD, in 2009 from Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, that how important microchips are for your pet. Linda said that this chip makes it easier for veterinarians or shelters to reunite lost pets with owners, where she mentioned in her research that lost cats with microchips have a 20 times greater chance of returning to their owners than those without chips, while dogs with microchips are more likely to return to their owners.
