Wellness, care, and clear next steps

General guidance for a healthier, happier life together. Toodle isn't a clinic, so anything specific to your pet goes to your veterinarian.

• Preventive care

  Routine wellness visits help catch changes early. Most veterinarians suggest yearly exams for adults and more frequent visits for puppies, kittens, and seniors.

• Vaccinations

  Core vaccines protect against serious diseases; which non-core vaccines make sense depends on lifestyle and region. Your veterinarian sets the schedule.

• Dental care

  Dental disease is common in adult dogs and cats. Regular brushing and periodic professional cleanings are the usual recommendations.

• Parasite prevention

  Year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is commonly advised in most of the US. Products differ by species and weight, so check with your vet.

• Healthy weight

  Keeping pets lean is linked with longer, more comfortable lives. Body condition scoring is a simple check you can learn from your veterinarian.

• Nutrition basics

  Look for a complete-and-balanced statement for your pet's life stage, feed measured portions, and adjust with weight and activity.

• When to see a vet

  Sudden changes in appetite, energy, breathing, drinking, or bathroom habits deserve a call to your veterinarian or an emergency clinic.
