What Happens During a Wellness Exam?

A wellness visit is more than just a quick check-up — it’s a comprehensive health assessment tailored to your pet’s needs. Our exams include:

  • Head-to-tail physical evaluation
  • Weight and body condition monitoring
  • Temperature, heart rate, and respiration checks
  • Dental health evaluation
  • Skin and coat assessment
  • Vaccination review and updates
  • Parasite prevention consultation
  • Diet, behavior, and lifestyle discussion

We also take time to answer your questions and help you make informed decisions about your pet’s care.

How Often Should My Pet Have a Wellness Exam?

  • Puppies and kittens: Every 3–4 weeks during early development
  • Healthy adult pets: Once per year
  • Senior pets: Twice per year to monitor age-related changes

Early detection of issues like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or cancer can lead to better treatment outcomes and lower long-term costs.
