We
recommend wellness exams at least once a year, depending on your
pet’s age and overall health. We want to see them more often if
they’re in their earlier stages of life, golden years or have
underlying health issues.
Does my pet need a wellness exam if they’re not sick?
Wellness exams are our regular checkups with you and your pet. They are an opportunity for us to share important information about how you can better care for and meet your pet’s needs. You can also share any observations or concerns you have with our veterinary team to get our expert advice.
How do annual exams help keep my pet healthy?
Our pets cannot tell us if they are ill or are in any discomfort or pain. A yearly wellness exam includes a thorough physical examination, vaccine boosters (if required) and possibly some diagnostic testing. Based on our examination, we can then provide you with recommendations about your pet’s nutrition, joint health, exercise, teeth and support to address any underlying health concerns.
