Why Routine Checkups Matter

Like people, pets benefit from regular health evaluations—even when they seem perfectly healthy. Wellness exams help us track changes over time, detect underlying conditions before they become serious, and ensure your pet stays current on vaccinations, parasite prevention, and more.

What to Expect During a Wellness Exam

Each wellness visit is tailored to your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and health history. A typical exam may include:

A full physical exam from nose to tail
Weight check and body condition assessment
Dental and oral health evaluation
Review of current medications or supplements
Vaccination updates (if due)
Parasite screening and prevention
Nutritional and behavioral guidance
Discussion of any changes or concerns you’ve noticed

If your pet needs additional testing (like blood work or diagnostics), we can often perform those services during the same visit.
