Wellness Exams & Sick Care
Your pet’s health is ever-evolving — in one year for us, cats and dogs age 4-5 years. A lot can change in what seems like a short time! Routine exams help us keep up with your pet’s changing needs so we can deliver more personalized medicine that suits their lifestyle.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT AN EXAM
Cat and dog exams are similar to your checkup at the doctor. Our goal is to perform a thorough assessment of your pet’s health so we can assign treatment where needed or just work on maintaining your pet’s wellness. For wellness exams, we’ll thoroughly evaluate your pet’s health and make sure no problems are brewing beneath the surface. In the event your pet is brought in for a sick exam, we’ll address your concerns and assess their symptoms so we can quickly get them the care they need.
Here's what you can expect at an exam:
- Fear free, comprehensive physical exam
- Vaccination administration based on lifestyle
- Age-appropriate blood work screening
- Fecal analysis
- Deworming (typical for puppies and kittens)
- Heartworm and tick-borne disease screening
- Parasite prevention prescription
- Nutritional and behavior counseling, if needed
- Medication prescription, if appropriate
