Wellness Exams
A comprehensive, nose-to-tail physical examination designed to assess your pet’s overall health and catch concerns early — often before symptoms are visible at home.
A wellness exam is a comprehensive, nose-to-tail physical examination designed to assess your pet’s overall health and identify concerns early — often before symptoms are visible at home.
During a routine wellness visit, we evaluate:
- Weight and body condition score
- Heart and lung function
- Oral health and dental disease
- Eyes and ears
- Skin and coat quality
- Joint mobility and muscle condition
- Abdominal palpation to assess internal organs
- Lymph nodes and overall systemic health
We also review diet, behavior and anxiety, lifestyle, parasite prevention, and vaccination status. This is an opportunity to discuss subtle changes you may have noticed — appetite shifts, mobility concerns, behavior differences, or anything that feels “not quite right.”
For many pets, wellness visits also include:
- Vaccine updates
- Parasite screening
- Preventive laboratory testing
- Medication refills
- Nutritional guidance
Wellness exams are not just for “shots.” They are one of the most important tools we have for early disease detection. Many chronic conditions — kidney disease, thyroid disease, heart disease, arthritis — begin with subtle changes that can be identified during routine evaluation.
