Our Comprehensive Wellness Exam Approach
1. Detailed Physical Examination
Every wellness exam begins with a thorough, hands-on evaluation of your pet’s overall health, including:
- Assessment of eyes, ears, and oral health
- Heart and lung function check
- Skin and coat evaluation
- Joint and mobility assessment
- Abdominal palpation to detect irregularities
- Weight, diet, and nutrition review
2. Preventive Care & Diagnostic Screening
Based on your pet’s age and lifestyle, we provide essential preventive care, including:
- Vaccinations customized to your pet’s needs
- Parasite screenings (heartworm, fleas, ticks, intestinal parasites)
- Routine blood work and urinalysis (as recommended)

3. Personalized Health & Lifestyle Consultation

When to Schedule Wellness Exams
We recommend wellness exams at least once a year for healthy adult pets. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, or pets with chronic conditions may require more frequent visits (every 6 months). Regular exams help us track your pet’s health over time and adapt care as their needs evolve.
