What Can I Expect During a Wellness Exam?

You can expect to receive compassionate and proficient care when your pet is seen in our office. Our team takes time to get to know you and your pet to build a trusting relationship with them so they can feel comfortable when coming to our office. Our facilities have new modern technologies, allowing us to give your pet a thorough and comprehensive pet wellness exam. We will look into your pet’s eyes, ears, and nose, as well as examine their skin and coat. Our staff can also run routine blood tests and perform fecal exams to better assess your pet’s internal health.

When you have your exam, we will also address any questions you might have about your pet’s behavior and discuss your pet’s dietary requirements to help promote a balanced diet.

Does My Pet Need a Wellness Exam?

As individuals, we see the doctor annually to make sure things are going well with ourselves, but it is just as important to have those annual checkups for our pets, too. They can’t tell us when they aren’t feeling well, which means potential problems can go unnoticed. By bringing in your pet for annual exams, you can help them have a fulfilling and healthy life. Some benefits that come from having annual pet wellness care include:

Keeping Your Family Safe: It can be easy to forget that animals can carry certain diseases and parasites that could be dangerous to humans. Annual exams allow us to check for those health complications, and by maintaining your pet’s vaccinations, we can help protect not only your pet but your family as well.

Detecting & Preventing Health Complications: Annual exams can help identify previously unknown health issues in your pet, allowing us to take a more proactive approach to their care.

Compliance With State & Local Agencies: Various states and jurisdictions require pets to have certain vaccinations. We offer the vaccines required to help protect your pet from specific dangerous viruses and diseases, even if they stay indoors. Also, if you ever want to board your pet, many facilities require proof of vaccinations to help keep all animals in their care healthy and safe. 

Our New Pet Exams

Having a new pet can bring a lot of joy and some questions about how to best take care of them. Our preventive vet will perform an exam on your new pet to help you understand their current health and discuss any questions or concerns you might have about your pet. We can also offer coaching and suggestions for pets experiencing situations like anxiety. These pet wellness exams are important for puppies and kittens so you can help your pet grow healthily. Some of the important choices that we will discuss during an exam are:

Vaccinating: For your pet’s health, the vaccines we offer can help prevent various contagious diseases. They need to be administered at the appropriate intervals to be as effective as possible.

Microchipping: Pets can get lost. Allowing us to implant a microchip gives your pet the opportunity to be reunited with your family if recovered outside of your home.

Discussing further care: To help maintain the health of your pet, our staff will go over all actions available for your pet, like nail trimmings, dental care, and spaying or neutering.
