We will want to know what your pet eats and its typical daily routine; all this information will tell us a lot about your pet. Keep reading to learn more about what your pet’s wellness exam will be like.
Your Pet's Wellness Visit
When we first meet your pet, our team will weigh and measure it, and then your pet will receive a complete examination from head to toe. If the examination indicates the need for further information, our vet will order diagnostic testing, like X-rays. After the team has gathered all your pet’s information, the veterinarian will meet with you to discuss your pet's current health status. We will then let you know if it is time for your pet to have any needed vaccinations.
In addition to recommending vaccinations, our vet may make other recommendations. If the vet has any health concerns about your pet that will require further visits, we will let you know what is happening. If your pet has reached its breeding age, our veterinarian will recommend spaying or neutering to prevent the birth of unwanted puppies or kittens. Another annual occurrence we will recommend for your pets is an annual dental cleaning to prevent gum disease. By taking these preventative steps now, you are protecting your pet in the long term.
