What Is a Wellness Exam?

A wellness exam is a full health check-up for your pet. It allows us to assess their overall well-being, catch health concerns early, and provide personalized recommendations based on age, lifestyle, and medical history. Think of it as routine maintenance for your best friend.

  • Nose-to-tail physical examination

  • Skin, coat, dental, and ear health check

  • Weight and nutritional assessment

  • Nail trim and mobility evaluation

  • Parasite prevention and vaccination review

  • Wellness blood work or diagnostic tests if needed

Why Are Wellness Exams Important?

Regular wellness exams are the most effective way to keep your pet healthy and to add years to their life. Early detection of diseases like diabetes, arthritis, or obesity can significantly improve management and outcomes. Plus, wellness exams help to establish a baseline for your pet's health, which can be crucial for detecting subtle changes over time.

How Often Does My Pet Need a Wellness Exam?

The frequency of wellness exams can depend on your pet's life stage, medical history, and overall health:

  • Puppies and Kittens: Multiple visits within the first year for vaccinations and growth monitoring.

  • Adult Pets: One wellness exam every year.

  • Senior Pets: Exams every six months to monitor age-related changes.
