The Comprehensive Physical Exam

During a wellness visit, our veterinarians conduct a thorough nose-to-tail physical examination to assess every aspect of your pet’s health. This includes examining their eyes, ears, teeth, skin, and coat, as well as listening to their heart and lungs. This detailed evaluation provides a crucial baseline for their ongoing medical record and long-term health.

Preventative Care and Early Detection

Regular exams are key for early disease detection and effective pet health care & wellness management. By identifying subtle changes over time, we can address potential issues, such as organ dysfunction, dental disease, or arthritis, before they become serious. Schedule a visit to our animal wellness clinic to invest in your pet’s future and well-being.

Year-Round Parasite Prevention

A vital part of any wellness exam involves screening for and preventing parasites. We will check for fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites, and discuss year-round prevention for heartworm disease. Protecting your pet from these common threats is a simple yet crucial step for their overall health. Let us recommend the best preventative products for your pet’s lifestyle.

Wellness for Every Life Stage

Your pet’s wellness needs change as they age. For puppies and kittens, we focus on growth, vaccinations, and socialization. For adult pets, we monitor weight and baseline health. Senior pets receive special attention for age-related conditions, ensuring they remain comfortable and happy throughout their golden years and into their senior stage.
