Wellness exams are offered at these locations:
A wellness exam is the embodiment of the old adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” It’s a routine (usually annual) visit aimed at keeping your pet up to date on vaccinations and screening tests, and detecting any health issues that we can address early on when they likely can be treated more easily, less expensively and with a better outcome.
Wellness exams are a vital part of helping your dog or cat live a long and healthy life. What’s more, they can help you save on veterinary costs over time.
What to expect during a wellness exam
Instead of seeking care when your pet is sick, a wellness exam takes place when your pet is healthy. The focus is on preventive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs, taking into consideration your pet’s breed, age, lifestyle and overall health. It generally includes:
- A head-to-tail physical exam including vital signs, weight and temperature
- Routine screenings and diagnostic tests, such as blood work and urine and fecal testing, to detect disease early
- Vaccinations to prevent certain diseases
- Parasite control
- Dental exams and cleanings
- Maintaining a detailed record of your pet’s health history
