Wellness Exam
A healthy pet starts with a thorough check
Service Description
Routine Checkups That Keep Your Pet Thriving Your pet’s health begins with prevention—and that’s where wellness exams come in. At our veterinary hospital, we believe regular checkups are the foundation of lifelong health. These visits help us detect early signs of illness, provide timely care, and ensure your furry family member stays happy and active for years to come. 🩺 What’s Included in a Wellness Exam? During your pet’s wellness visit, our veterinarians take a nose-to-tail approach to care. We evaluate: • Vital signs – Temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate • Weight and body condition – To track trends and assess for obesity or weight loss • Eyes, ears, and mouth – Checking for infections, dental disease, or abnormalities • Skin and coat health – Identifying parasites, lumps, or allergies • Heart and lungs – Listening for murmurs or breathing issues • Joint and muscle tone – Especially important for aging pets or large breeds We also discuss your pet’s lifestyle, diet, behavior, and any changes you’ve noticed at home. 💉 Preventive Care Tailored to Your Pet Based on your pet’s age, species, breed, and environment, we may recommend: • Vaccinations to protect against contagious diseases • Fecal and heartworm testing • Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention • Senior screening for older pets (bloodwork, urinalysis) • Spay/neuter guidance • Nutrition and weight management tips Early detection is key. Many health problems—like kidney disease, diabetes, or arthritis—can be managed more effectively if caught before symptoms appear. 💗 Your Partner in Preventive Health Our team is here to answer your questions and help you make confident choices for your pet. Whether it’s your puppy’s first visit or your senior cat’s annual checkup, we treat every patient like one of our own. Schedule your pet’s wellness exam today and give them the best gift of all: a healthier, longer life.
