Canine medicine

Canine medicine is the branch of veterinary science focused on the health and treatment of dogs. It involves diagnosing and managing various medical conditions, from preventive care, like vaccinations and regular check-ups, to treating illnesses and injuries. Vets use a range of tools, including physical exams, laboratory tests, and imaging techniques, to assess a dog’s health. Common issues addressed include infections, allergies, and chronic diseases. Canine medicine also emphasizes proper nutrition, exercise, and behavioral care to ensure the overall well-being of dogs, supporting their quality of life and longevity.
