What Happens During
a Pet Wellness Exam?
Wellness exams are a great way to gain a better understanding of your pet's overall health. During the visit, our team can identify potential issues in their earliest stages, making treatment easier and less stressful for your pet. These exams also help us provide you with valuable insights into maintaining your pet’s well-being. The more you know about your pet’s health, the better you can care for them.
Here’s what’s typically included in a wellness exam:
- A head-to-tail examination, including checking your pet’s heart, lungs, weight, and temperature
- Vaccinations based on their age and lifestyle
- Preventive bloodwork and parasite screenings if necessary
- Nutrition advice and diet recommendations
- Addressing any current health issues
- Time to answer any questions you have about your pet’s care
Wellness Care for Puppies and Kittens
Bringing a new puppy or kitten into your family is an exciting time! We recommend regular visits during their first few months to monitor their growth and development. Your new companion should also start age appropriate vaccinations to protect their health and ensure they start off on the right paw. Your pet's first visit should occur between 6-8 weeks of age and will include a thorough exam, parasite screening, and the start of their vaccines. Booster shots are administered every 3-4 weeks until they reach 16 weeks of age.
