All pets should have an annual wellness exam.  Physical examinations are very important in detecting conditions that need to be addressed while they are manageable and not serious or life-threatening.

​

Wellness Exam visits are a great opportunity to discuss behavior, weight, dental health, diet, or any concerns that you may have for your pet.  Annual vaccinations and testing are recommended to be updated during your pet's annual exam.  

​

Additional testing may be needed as your pet ages or as problems arise.  Preventatives for heartworms, intestinal parasites, and fleas and ticks will also be addressed and tailored to each pet's needs.

​

A typical wellness visit might include:

A physical exam - We look for changes in you pet's oral health, weight, joints, skin, and ears.

Diagnostic screening tests - We check your pet's internal health via diagnostic screening tests including blood, stool, and urine tests.  These results help us manage and track your pet's overall health.

​

A review of results - We look for changes in results from year to year. Changes can act as early warning signs of health problems.
