Wellness Exams and Preventive Care
Routine wellness exams are an important part of keeping your pet healthy. We provide wellness exams and preventive care to monitor your pet’s health, catch issues early, and keep vaccines and preventatives up to date.
Even if your pet seems healthy, regular checkups help identify changes before they become more serious problems.
Why Wellness Exams Matter?
Pets age faster than people, and health changes can happen quickly without obvious signs. Regular exams allow us to:
Track your pet’s health over time
Identify issues like dental disease, arthritis, or weight changes early
Stay ahead of parasites and preventable illnesses
Provide guidance on nutrition, behavior, and daily care
These visits also help your pet stay comfortable with routine handling and exams.
What’s Included in a Wellness Visit?
Each visit is based on your pet’s age and needs, but typically includes:
Full physical exam (eyes, ears, teeth, skin, heart, lungs, and joints)
Weight and body condition evaluation
Vaccination review and updates
Parasite and heartworm screening as needed
Dental health assessment
Discussion of diet, activity, and behavior
Bloodwork or diagnostics when appropriate
How Often Should Pets Be Seen?
Puppies and kittens: multiple visits during the first year
Adult pets (1–7 years): every 6–12 months
Senior pets (7+ years): every 6 months
We’ll recommend a schedule based on your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle.
Regular wellness care helps prevent problems and keeps your pet on track as they age. If you’re due for a checkup or have questions about your pet’s health, we’re here to help.
