Wellness Care

Annual wellness exams evaluate your pets overall health, detect problems before they become serious, and keep them on track to live a long, healthy life.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We believe regular veterinary wellness care is an essential part of keeping your pet healthy and happy for years to come.

A wellness visit starts with a preliminary assessment by one of our veterinary technicians to help evaluate your pet’s overall health. This is followed by a complete physical examination by one of our highly skilled veterinarians to diagnose any underlying disease that may be hurting your pet. The preliminary assessment and subsequent physical examination include:

  • Record of history and lifestyle

  • Nutritional status and body weight counseling

  • Thorough physical examination

  • Internal and external parasite prevention for diseases such as heartworm, intestinal worms, fleas, and ticks

  • Customized vaccination protocol

  • Treatment plan for current conditions or disease prevention

  • Recommended diagnostic testing may include:

    • Blood testing

    • Urine testing

    • Fecal analysis

    • X-rays

    • Ultrasound

    • Blood pressure

These services are included in our Premium Pet Care Plans. These plans offer you unlimited consultations, routine vaccinations, and so much more, with a predictable low monthly payment.

Be prepared to share the following at your next wellness visit to help us determine a health plan for your pet:

  • Past vaccinations received at another hospital

  • Whether your pet lives outdoors or goes outdoors

  • Your pet’s interactions with any other animals

  • Travel plans in the upcoming year

  • Your pet’s history of going to a boarding kennel or dog parks

  • Current medications or supplements your pet is taking
