Puppy/Kitten Examinations
Our puppy/kitten vet wellness exams are designed to help your new puppy or kitten start on the right path to a long and healthy life. The first few months are a critical period in your companion’s development, and we can give you the support and tools necessary to help your pet grow into a healthy pet. Be sure to schedule your new pet’s first exam as soon as possible. Until they have received a series of vaccines, they are susceptible to many serious but preventable diseases. Our team will help you determine which vaccines they need and provide you with a booster schedule so you’ll know they are well protected.
Adult Pet Wellness Examination
Bringing your pet in for an annual diagnostic and wellness checkup is essential for enhancing their health and detecting hidden diseases or conditions early. Early detection can improve prognosis, reduce medical costs, and help your pet live a longer, healthier life. Regular exams are crucial since pets often hide symptoms, and some conditions may not present obvious signs.
As dogs and cats age faster than humans, regular veterinary visits become even more important. Aging pets face increased risks for conditions such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems. Regular exams help us monitor these risks and manage them effectively.
During your pet’s wellness exam, we conduct a thorough physical assessment, review vaccinations and preventives, and perform diagnostic tests such as blood, fecal, and urine analyses to detect parasites and underlying health issues. We may also recommend dental care as part of a comprehensive health plan. Please inform us of any physical or behavioral changes you’ve observed in your pet and any other concerns.
Senior Pet Wellness Examination
As dogs and cats age, they require specialized care to maintain their health and comfort. Our senior wellness exams are designed to help your pet stay fit and detect potential issues early, making them easier to manage and treat. Regular veterinary exams are essential for extending your pet’s life and enhancing their well-being.
Early diagnosis of age-related conditions such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease is crucial. Senior pets may not show symptoms until these conditions are advanced, making proactive care even more important. We recommend a baseline exam when your dog turns seven or your cat turns eight, to establish what’s normal for them and monitor any changes.
Our senior wellness exams focus on improving your pet’s quality of life by addressing pain, recommending nutrition and exercise, and suggesting environmental adjustments. We will tailor a plan to your pet’s needs and provide compassionate support for end-of-life care and pet euthanasia when the time comes.
