Regular wellness exams or annual exams are one of the most important things you can do to keep your pet healthy. We strongly believe in preventive care and have developed wellness protocols for every stage of your pet's life.

One of the most important reasons to bring your pet in on a regular basis is to monitor and treat conditions before they become untreatable. The benefit of early detection allows time for steps to be taken to manage or correct a problem before irreversible damage occurs. Because our pets age so much faster than we do, regular wellness exams are one of the best ways that you can help your pet live a long, healthy life.

During an Annual exam, our veterinary team will start out by taking your pet's vital signs: Tempature, Heart rate, Respiration rate and Capillary refill time.

Typically, will ask for a complete history of your pet's health including eating habits, exercise, unusual behavior, etc. and do a comprehensive examination of your pet from nose to tail. History is a vital part of holistic care. Please remember and bring all records pertaining to your pet.

We may also perform diagnostic tests such as Heartworm blood test or intestinal parasite tests and vaccines may be administered (depending on your pet's life stage). Additionally, disease screenings (kidney, liver, blood disorders, etc.) may be recommended, depending on the state of your pet's health.
