A Strong Foundation for a Healthy Life
This is where it all begins! Routine wellness visits are among the most essential aspects of good pet care. Taking exceptional care of your furry friend means so much more than what you do when they’re not feeling well—it’s about what you do to ensure those days are few and far between. We recommend that all adult pets have a routine wellness visit once a year, and we recommend an exam every six months for senior pets or pets with certain health conditions.
Why take your pet to the vet when they’re not ill or injured? Excellent question! Routine wellness visits allow us to monitor your pet’s health closely and detect and address any issues while they’re still in their early stages. Our pets can’t tell us if they don’t feel well, and many pets (cats in particular) are adept at hiding any signs of pain or illness. All too often, by the time a pet is showing obvious symptoms of a problem, it’s become severe.
Regular wellness visits for your pet mean earlier detection of any health concerns—and early detection can mean a better outcome, a longer life, and a more manageable (and less expensive) treatment. Plus, we just like to see you and your fur family!
So Much More Than “Just an Exam”
Quite a lot goes on at your pet’s routine wellness exam! Our veterinarians perform a thorough nose-to-tail evaluation of your pet, assessing things like:
- Eye and ear health
- Dental and oral health
- Coat and skin condition
- Heart and lung function
- Musculoskeletal condition
- Neurological condition
- Abdominal palpation to check for abnormalities or discomfort
In addition, your pet’s routine wellness visit may include:
- Vaccinations
- Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
- Routine diagnostics
- Microchipping
- Nutritional and behavioral consultations
- And more!
We’ll work with you to design a wellness plan for your pet that includes everything they need today for their best life tomorrow—and beyond.
