Wellness Exams
We strive to provide the highest level of care for your canine companion’s well-being. Our Dog Wellness Exams are designed to give your dog the best chances of living a long, healthy, and happy life by detecting hidden diseases or conditions early and maintaining their overall health.
Dogs and cats age far quicker than humans, so it is even more crucial for our companion animals to receive regular exams. In addition, the risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems all increase with age.
What to Expect During Your Pet’s Wellness Exam
During your pet’s wellness exam, our dedicated veterinary team will perform a thorough assessment to ensure your dog is in the best possible health. Here’s what you can expect during your dog’s wellness exam:
- Physical Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive physical assessment, checking your dog from nose to tail. This examination allows us to identify any physical abnormalities, pain, or discomfort.
- Vaccinations and Preventives: We ensure that your dog receives the appropriate vaccinations and preventives tailored to their specific needs. This helps protect them from common diseases and parasites.
- Diagnostic Workup: Depending on your dog’s age and health status, we may perform diagnostic tests, including blood, fecal, and urine tests. These tests help us check for parasites and underlying diseases, even before symptoms appear.
- Dental Care: We may recommend dental care for your dog’s oral health. Dental issues can impact your dog’s overall well-being, and addressing them is a crucial part of our wellness services.
- Senior Wellness: As your dog approaches their senior years, we recommend a baseline exam and diagnostic panel. By conducting these testings, we can establish what’s normal for your dog, allowing us to monitor any changes closely.
The Importance of Annual Wellness Checkups
Annual checkups for dogs offer peace of mind and valuable health insights. Early detection of hidden diseases improves prognosis and can lower medical costs. Dogs can be adept at hiding signs of illness, making early detection crucial.
As a pet owner, you play a vital role in your dog’s health. You spend the most time with your pet and are their expert and advocate. We encourage you to communicate with us about any physical or behavioral changes you’ve noticed in your dog, as well as any concerns you might have.
Aging Gracefully with Regular Wellness Exams
Dogs age faster than humans, which underscores the importance of regular wellness exams. Aging dogs are at a higher risk of conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems. Our comprehensive wellness services are designed to address these risks and ensure your dog enjoys their golden years in the best possible health.
