What to Expect at a Wellness Visit
Your veterinarian will review your pet’s medical history, current medications, diet, activity, and any changes you have noticed at home. The physical examination may include the eyes, ears, mouth, skin, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, weight, and body condition.
Recommendations may include vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention, intestinal parasite screening, microchipping, nutritional counseling, weight management, or health and travel certificates. An oral assessment may lead to a discussion about veterinary dentistry, while changes found during the examination may warrant diagnostics and imaging.
Bring available medical records and a current medication list. If testing or documentation requires anything additional, the clinic will explain how to prepare.
Preventive Care That Evolves With Your Pet
Preventive needs evolve as your pet’s age, lifestyle, and health risks change.
Good preventive medicine is not a fixed checklist. Recommendations should change as a young pet matures, an adult pet’s routine shifts, or a senior develops new mobility or medical concerns. Prescription preventives and approved wellness products may also be obtained through the clinic’s pharmacy and prescription services. Explore all veterinary services available for continued care.
