Pet Wellness Examination

What to Expect During a Pet Wellness Exam

During a wellness examination, one of our experienced veterinarians will begin by gathering a detailed history of your pet’s lifestyle, behavior, and any specific health concerns you may have noticed. This information helps guide the examination and determine any areas that may require extra attention. Next, your pet will undergo a thorough head-to-tail examination. This includes checking vital signs such as temperature, pulse, weight, and respiration rate. The veterinarian will also assess your pet’s skin, coat, eyes, ears, and overall body condition, looking for any signs of illness or discomfort.

Wellness exams are an important preventive measure that can help detect health issues before they become more serious. By catching early signs of illness or disease, we can take immediate action to keep your pet healthy.

Additional Services During the Wellness Exam

During your pet’s wellness examination, our veterinary team may recommend additional care based on their findings. Some of the services that may be discussed include:

• Vaccinations: Staying up-to-date on vaccines is crucial for preventing illnesses such as rabies, distemper, and parvovirus.
• Diagnostic Testing: Bloodwork, urinalysis, or fecal tests may be recommended to screen for underlying conditions.
• Nutrition Advice: Our team can provide guidance on diet and nutrition to ensure your pet is receiving the proper nutrients for their age and lifestyle.
• Dental Care: Oral health is a key component of overall wellness, and we may recommend dental cleanings to prevent plaque buildup and gum disease.
