Wellness Care and Exams

Wellness exams to keep your pet healthy with routine checkups, early detection, and preventive care.

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.
