Whether you have a playful puppy, a curious cat, or a senior companion with changing needs, we’re here to support their lifelong well-being.
What Is a Pet Wellness Exam?
A pet wellness exam is a comprehensive, nose-to-tail health check designed to monitor your pet’s overall health and catch potential issues early—before they become more serious or costly to treat. These visits help us establish a baseline for your pet’s health and build a strong veterinary-client-patient relationship rooted in prevention, trust, and ongoing care.
Wellness exams typically include:
- A full physical examination
- Weight and body condition scoring
- Listening to the heart and lungs
- Checking the eyes, ears, teeth, skin, and coat
- Joint and mobility assessment
- Review of vaccination status and parasite prevention
- Nutritional and behavioural counselling
We’ll also take time to answer your questions and provide guidance on everything from routine care to early signs of illness, so you feel confident in caring for your pet at home.
Why Are Wellness Exams Important?
Routine wellness exams are a proactive way to detect health problems early—often before symptoms are visible. This allows for faster intervention, better treatment outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs over time. Even if your pet seems perfectly healthy, underlying issues such as dental disease, arthritis, heart conditions, or metabolic changes can develop silently. Regular wellness visits help us catch those problems early and manage them effectively. For senior pets, more frequent exams (every 6 months) are often recommended, as health can change more rapidly with age.
The Benefits of Regular Wellness Care
- Early detection of illness before it progresses
- Tailored vaccine schedules for optimal protection
- Preventative care planning, including flea, tick, and heartworm control
- Nutritional advice based on life stage and health conditions
- Better long-term outcomes through consistent monitoring
- Peace of mind knowing your pet’s health is in expert hands
