We believe in preventive and wellness care because it is the easiest and most cost-effective way to ensure your pet has as many happy, healthy years with you as possible.
Pets age much faster than we do, and they tend to hide symptoms of illness and injury as a matter of instinct. This is why we always recommend a physical wellness exam at least once per year for adult pets and then every six months for senior pets.
Wellness exams are crucial check-ups that help in early detection and prevention of diseases, ensuring your pet maintains optimal health. These exams allow our veterinary team to assess your pet’s overall health, discuss nutrition and behavior, and update vaccinations. Regular wellness exams are the cornerstone of preventive veterinary care, offering a proactive approach to identifying potential health issues before they become serious.
At a wellness exam, our veterinarian will do a nose-to-tail check of:
- Temperature and weight
- Eyes, ears, and mouth
- Heart and lungs
- Abdomen and skin
- Bones and joints
- Teeth/Dental health
What to Expect During a Wellness Exam
Our experienced veterinary team will also conduct a thorough physical examination, which includes:
- Health Evaluation: Assessing heart, lungs, skin, coat, eyes, ears, and oral health.
- Vaccination Updates: Ensuring your pet is up-to-date with their vaccinations to protect against disease.
- Parasite Prevention: Discussing and providing treatments for fleas, ticks, heartworm, and other parasites.
- Nutrition and Weight Management: Offering guidance on proper nutrition, diet, and exercise to maintain a healthy weight.
- Behavioral Advice: Addressing any behavioral issues and providing tips for training and socialization.
