What is a Wellness Exam?

A wellness exam is a comprehensive health check-up performed by a veterinarian, typically once a year or more frequently for senior pets or those with health conditions. During the exam, the vet will assess your pet’s physical health, behavior, and overall well-being. The goal of these exams is to prevent health problems, catch issues early, and keep your pet in the best shape possible.


Regular wellness exams are essential to maintaining your pet's health. Just like humans, pets benefit from routine check-ups that can catch potential issues early and ensure they live a long, healthy life.


Why Wellness Exams Matter

  • Early Detection: Identifying problems before they become serious.

  • Vaccinations: Keeping your pet up-to-date on necessary vaccines.

  • Dental Health: Checking for signs of dental disease.

  • Weight Management: Monitoring your pet’s weight and diet.


What to Expect During a Wellness Exam

  • Comprehensive physical examination.

  • Blood tests and urine analysis.

  • Heart and respiratory check.

  • Discussion of any behavioral changes.

Schedule regular wellness exams to keep your pet healthy and happy. Early detection and prevention are key to a long, joyful life for your furry friend.
