Regular veterinary check-ups are the best way to prevent disease and look after the health of your dog or cat at all stages of its life. At Benivet BenissaWe believe that preventive medicine is the key to a long, active and happy life for your pet.
Why are veterinary check-ups important?
Regular veterinary check-ups allow early detection of health problems, adaptation of feeding and care to the needs of each stage, and professional guidance on any changes in behaviour, hygiene or animal welfare.
In our veterinary clinic in BenissaWe apply a holistic approach: complete physical examination, dental check-up, weight control and preventive tests in our own laboratory. veterinary laboratoryif the veterinarian deems it necessary.

In some cases, it may be necessary to refer to our veterinary surgery unit for preventive or corrective interventions.
