-The veterinary clinic, detects, prevents and notifies cases that impact community health.
2.- Vaccination and health programs.
– Antirrabic campaigns, deworming and population control causes it to reduce risks to the whole society.
3.- Food hygiene and safe production in production animals, veterinarians control diseases that could reach the table of humans, such as tuberculosis, trichinosis and salmonellosis, among others.
– Even so, in veterinary clinics, prevention of antimicrobial resistance in pets is also key to public health.
4.- Health education to the community,
A veterinary clinic, guides tutors on responsible tenure, waste management, bite prevention and risk of animal infections.
5.- Animal well-being, and human-animal bond.
– The care of companion animals affects people’s emotional and social well -being, stress reduction, solitude accompaniment, mental health.
