What Is A Pet Wellness Exam?
A pet examination is completed annually as a way to ensure cats or dogs have optimal wellness throughout their entire life. For older pets, the frequency of a checkup depends on their specific needs. For every visit, our veterinarians ensure your pet is comfortable with the components of the examination. Exams are quite thorough, and they provide valuable information for our veterinarians, so your animal can have the best life possible. Here are some of the routine tests and procedures conducted during a wellness exam:
- A comprehensive physical examination
- Observation of significant organs, like the heart and lungs as well as the eyes and ears
- Checkup for abnormalities like lumps anywhere on the body
- Vitals (pulse and temperature check) and weight check
- Bloodwork that checks for possible diseases or infection
- Urinalysis, which can be used to detect signs of diabetes
- Dental exam
Checking for Parasites
One of our veterinarians can check for parasites during a wellness exam. A stool sample can identify some parasites, but not all can be discovered with this method alone. For instance, heartworm disease is tested through the use of a blood sample. We have everything you'll want to prevent pests from invading in your pet.
