Wellness Exams

Annual wellness exams evaluate your pets overall health, detect problems before they become serious, and keep them on track to live a long, healthy life.

Our doctors perform a comprehensive physical exam on all new patients and at every annual.

Overview

We follow your pet through the many phases of their lives. From preventative care during their younger years, to regular wellness checks as they age, we seek to prevent and detect problems before they arise. The American Animal Hospital Association recommends that your pet have a wellness exam at least once every year, and more frequently as they age. We know your pet is important to you, that's why we work hard to ensure they are given only the best in care throughout every life stage.

The American Animal Hospital Association recommends that your pet have a wellness exam at least once every year. As your pet ages, they recommend having even more.

Why are wellness exams important?

Wellness exams give us a chance to evaluate the overall health of your pet while also giving us a baseline for their own unique bodies and tendencies. They also allow us to detect potential problems before they become serious, and even make your pet more familiar with our veterinary hospital, making future visits easier on them and you.

When should my pet visit the vet?

Preventative medicine is the best approach to keeping our patients healthy. This includes annual wellness examinations, vaccinations on a one- or three-year basis, parasite prevention, blood work, and dietary management. Our doctors will help you determine what approach is appropriate according to you and your pet’s needs. We will discuss in detail what your options are to help you make the best possible health decisions for your pet.
