Wellness Care

Why Wellness Exams Matter

We’re here for your pet through every stage of their life, from the playful puppy and kitten days to their golden years. We focus on specialized and preventive care when they’re young, and as they age, we make sure to keep up with regular wellness checks to catch any potential issues early. Your pet is a big part of your family, and we’re committed to giving them the best care possible throughout their entire life.

Wellness exams give us a great opportunity to check up on your pet’s overall health and establish a baseline for their unique needs. These exams help us spot any potential issues before they become serious and make your pet more comfortable with our clinic, making future visits smoother for both of you.

When Should You Bring Your Pet In?

We believe in staying ahead of health issues with preventive care, which means annual exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and dietary guidance. Our vets will work with you to decide what’s best for your pet based on their lifestyle and needs, and we’ll help you make informed decisions about their health.

What Happens During a Wellness Exam?

During a wellness exam, we’ll start by assessing your pet’s vital signs. Our vet will then perform a nose-to-tail exam and may run some diagnostic tests such as blood work or a fecal analysis. Our vet may also administer vaccines and conduct screenings for certain conditions like heartworms or organ disfunction.

Wellness exams help us catch potential health problems early and establish baseline health data such as weight/body condition, temperature, and lab results. This helps us provide better care if your pet ever gets sick or injured. By catching problems early, we can help your pet enjoy a long, healthy, and active life.
