Pet Wellness Exams
At The Whole Pet Vet Hospital and Wellness Center, we use regular pet wellness exams to help build the foundation of a long, healthy, and happy life for your companion. With these visits, we can assess your pet’s overall health, detect potential issues early, and create a personalized care plan to support their unique needs.
What Are Pet Wellness Exams?
A pet wellness exam is a routine, preventive checkup designed to evaluate your pet’s overall health and well-being. Just like annual physicals for people, these visits give veterinarians the opportunity to spot early signs of illness, monitor changes over time, and provide guidance for optimal care at home. They are tailored to your pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle, ensuring each animal receives exactly the care they need.
The benefits of pet wellness exams go beyond early detection of health problems—they help strengthen the bond between pet owners and their veterinary team. With regular checkups, you gain expert insights into your pet’s nutrition, behavior, and preventive care, giving you the confidence to make informed decisions that keep your pet healthy for years to come.
What to Expect During a Pet Wellness Exam
- Review your pet’s medical history, lifestyle, and any recent changes in behavior or health.
- Perform a full physical exam, including eyes, ears, mouth, skin, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, and coat.
- Check weight, body condition, and vital signs to monitor overall health trends.
- Discuss diet, exercise, and home care routines to support your pet’s well-being.
- Recommend age-appropriate services such as vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental care, and lab tests.
For senior pets or those with chronic conditions, we may suggest more frequent checkups to stay ahead of potential health concerns.
Why Pet Wellness Exams Are Essential
Routine pet checkups help identify health issues before they become serious, saving your pet from unnecessary discomfort and you from costly treatments down the road. Many illnesses—such as heart disease, kidney problems, or dental disease—can be present without obvious symptoms. With regular exams, we can catch and treat these conditions early, giving your pet the best chance at a long and active life.
