What Are the Benefits of Wellness Exams for My Pet?
Keeping your pet healthy and happy starts with regular preventive care. At our veterinary clinic, we provide comprehensive preventive care for cats and dogs. Because every pet deserves personalized, lifelong care.
Routine veterinary checkups are one of the most important ways you can support your pet’s long-term health. These visits help us monitor your pet’s overall health, catch potential problems early, and build a lasting, trusting relationship with you and your pet.
Even if your pet seems perfectly healthy, annual (or even semi-annual) wellness exams allow us to:
- Track subtle changes in weight, behavior, and mobility.
- Update vaccines and parasite protection.
- Provide tailored advice on diet, enrichment, and environment.
- Identify early signs of illness that might go unnoticed at home.

FAQ
How Often Should My Pet Have a Wellness Exam?
We recommend most pets receive a wellness exam every 6 months when they are healthy to catch early signs of illness before they become serious and to ensure they stay up to date on preventive care, keeping them healthier and happier for longer. Regular checkups also allow our veterinarians to tailor recommendations based on changes in a pet’s age, lifestyle, or environment.
What’s the Difference Between a Wellness Exam & a Sick Visit?
A wellness exam is a routine checkup focused on preventive care and early detection in healthy pets, while a sick exam addresses specific symptoms or concerns when our pets are not feeling well.
Why Is Preventive Care Important for Pets?
Preventive care is essential for pets because it helps detect health issues early, supports a longer, healthier life, and reduces the risk of serious illness.
Can I Get Flea, Tick, & Heartworm Prevention During the Exam?
Flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives are available during the exam. Your pet’s veterinarian will recommend the most appropriate option based on your pet’s health and lifestyle.
Are Wellness Exams Different for Senior Pets?
Wellness exams for senior pets often include additional diagnostics, such as bloodwork or imaging, to help detect age-related conditions that may not show obvious signs. Unlike younger pets, seniors are more likely to hide symptoms, making early detection through testing especially important.
