We believe in preventive and wellness care because it is the easiest and most cost-effective way to ensure your pet has as many happy, healthy years with you as possible. Wellness Exams Pets age much faster than we do, and they tend to hide symptoms of illness and injury as a matter of instinct. This is why we always recommend a physical wellness exam at least once per year for adult pets and then every six months for senior pets.

If you’ve recently adopted or purchased a pet, then we advise you that you book an appointment for their first examination within the first few weeks of ownership. Younger animals are very vulnerable to illness and this will allow us to make sure they have the vaccinations they need, reassure you of their health, and give us a starting point for their medical records.

What To Expect

At a wellness exam, our veterinarian will do a nose-to-tail check of:

A stylized green heart with a white outline of a bathroom scale in the center, resembling a veterinarian's dedication to health. The heart has a small chunk missing from the top right corner, suggesting a focus on weight management and well-being.

Temperature and weight

A green heart-shaped icon with a white outline. Inside the heart, there is a simple white line drawing of a cat's face next to a medical report symbol, indicating veterinarian care.

Eyes, ears, and mouth

Green icon featuring a stylized, white outline of lungs inside a heart shape, ideal for a veterinarian's practice symbol.

Heart and lungs

A green heart-shaped icon with a white outline of a hair follicle and skin layer illustration inside, symbolizing dermatology or hair and skin health. This image can also serve as an emblem for veterinarians specializing in pet dermatology.

Abdomen and skin

A green heart shape featuring a white outline of a bone in the center, symbolizing the care and dedication of a veterinarian.

Bones and joints

A green heart icon with a white tooth in the center. A small shield with a cross symbol is overlaid on the lower right side of the tooth, signifying a health-related or dental care concept, akin to how veterinarians ensure animal well-being.

At these annual exams, we also may recommend an internal exam, which can include routine diagnostic blood screenings, fecal tests, and urinalysis. Combined with a wellness exam, these tests are the best way to detect problems early, before they become more serious and expensive health issues. The wellness exam is also a great time to discuss your pet’s nutrition, any behavior questions you might have, and other elective, and highly-recommend wellness and preventive care options including spay/neuter and microchipping.

Preventive Care

Wellness and preventive care also includes vaccinations, which are the most basic and inexpensive way to protect your pet from serious and even fatal diseases—some of which can be transmitted to humans. Our veterinarians will tailor a vaccination plan for your pet that’s based on their individual lifestyle, age, and health—not on what is available in the market.

Parasite prevention is another cornerstone of wellness and preventive care. Fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms aren’t just annoying: they can cause significant health problems in pets, and in the case of heartworm, may even be deadly.
