Our pet wellness exams are designed to prevent disease or sickness and help to ensure your pets continue to stay healthy. Our doctors will assess your pet’s health with a complete physical exam, medical history and lifestyle report to help create a plan for disease prevention. This also allows us to catch any potential issues as early as possible, and plan the best treatment course for your pet.

An essential part in disease prevention is vaccinations. Vaccinations protect your pet from common infectious diseases, and help reduce the incidence of serious transmissible disease in the pet population as a whole.

A Wellness Exam will not only help flag any potential problems with your pet’s health, but they are also important in creating an overall medical history for your pet. By meeting regularly with your pet, your veterinarian is able to become better acquainted with their personal history, and is able to offer more personalized care.

How often will my pet need a wellness exam?

A wellness exam is recommended at least once yearly in order to diagnose, treat or prevent problems before they become life threatening.

Early diagnosis

Early diagnosis of a disease process can lead your pet to a longer healthier life. Kidney disease, if diagnosed early, will allow us to modify your dog or cat’s diet and in some cases add supplements to their diet to potentially extend their lives. There are many other conditions to which an early diagnosis is advantageous.

Disease prevention is always less costly than dealing with the treatment of a disease once your pet has developed it.
