Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a senior companion, routine pet checkups are essential for their well-being.
Why Routine Pet Checkups Matter
Many health issues in pets show few outward symptoms in their early stages, making regular checkups essential. Annual or bi-annual pet wellness exams allow us to identify potential problems, such as:
- Heart disease
- Kidney and liver conditions
- Diabetes and metabolic disorders
- Arthritis and mobility issues
- Dental disease
Catching these conditions early often leads to more effective treatment options and better long-term outcomes for your pet.
What is Pet Wellness Care?
Pet wellness care is a preventative approach to veterinary medicine that focuses on early detection and disease prevention. Our wellness exams provide a full evaluation of your pet’s overall health and help us develop a personalized care plan to keep them thriving.
During a pet wellness visit, our veterinarian will assess:
- Overall physical health – Weight, coat condition, and body condition evaluation
- Vaccination status – Ensuring your pet is up to date on essential vaccinations
- Parasite prevention – Checking for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites
- Dental health – Evaluating teeth and gums for signs of disease
- Nutritional guidance – Providing recommendations for a balanced diet and weight management
- Behavioral assessments – Identifying any changes in behavior that may indicate underlying health concerns
By staying on top of pet wellness checkups, we can catch potential issues before they become serious, ensuring your pet enjoys a long, active, and happy life.
