Here's somethings it may help to know about pet wellness exams and how a veterinarian on our veterinary can help.
The Importance of Pet Wellness
A yearly exam can be one of the best things you can do to give your pet a long and healthy life. Wellness exams can help establish your pet's overall health and can alert you to potential problems as early as possible. While there are some preventative measures you can take at home, such as flea and tick prevention, many illnesses are treatable if caught early enough. Wellness exams may become even more essential as your pet gets older. They become more vulnerable to diseases, and we can help ensure we are doing our best to help your pet stay healthy.
What Can I Expect at a Pet Wellness Exam
A typical pet wellness exam may include an evaluation of physical characteristics such as body weight, skin and coat condition, teeth and gum health, vision, and hearing ability. These tests can be quick and largely painless. We will discuss the results with you so you can be aware of any potential problems. Pet dental checkups might also be a component of wellness exams. We can instruct you on pet dental practices to keep your pet's teeth and gums healthy.
Vaccines
During wellness exams, we can also help ensure your pet is up to date on its vaccinations. Pet owners might not realize that the first vaccine their pet receives might not be effective immediately. This means that your pet still may be vulnerable to disease even though he has been vaccinated. To protect your pet from harmful diseases, it may be important to vaccinate them at regular intervals. We'll let you schedule your pet's vaccinations during your visit.
