Whether your pet is a youngster, a "senior citizen," or any age in between, wellness appointments provide an excellent opportunity for us to conduct a thorough physical examination and develop a health profile for your pet. Routine wellness exams create a baseline for your pets’ health which can help us identify medical issues as they develop.
Puppies/Kittens should be first examined around 8 weeks of age, then every month for vaccinations until they are spayed/neutered at around 4 months old.
After 1 yr of age, we recommend annual physical wellness exams.
Pets are considered "Senior at 7" and at this age we recommend transitioning to Semi-Annual wellness exams.
A wellness examination includes an evaluation of all of your pet's major organ systems - from the tip of the nose, to the end of the tail. We'll discuss your pet's behavior, appetite, exercise habits, and regular activities at home. We welcome any questions you may have and invite you to take an active role in your pets’ healthcare. This is also an excellent time for us to discuss any routine diagnostic testing that may benefit your pet or to recommend any vaccinations that may be due.
Many vaccines are available for use in dogs and cats, but not every pet needs every available vaccine. Some vaccines are considered core vaccines and should be administered to all pets, whereas other vaccines are optional and may be recommended for pets based on a variety of factors, such as their risk for exposure to disease. Vaccine recommendations can also change throughout a pet's life, as travel habits and other variables change. We will consider all these factors as we determine which vaccines your pet should have.
