What to Expect During a Wellness Exam

At your pet’s wellness and preventive care appointment, we take a comprehensive approach to assess their overall health and well-being.

Nose-to-tail physical examination: We’ll listen to your pet’s heart and lungs, check their eyes, ears, coat, and body condition, and evaluate for signs of joint pain or mobility issues.
Comprehensive health consultation: Your veterinarian will discuss any concerns you may have and work with you to create a care plan tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
Proactive preventive care: Our team will offer guidance on vaccines, nutrition, parasite prevention, and microchipping.
