Comprehensive Wellness Exams for Cats and Dogs

Your pet is a beloved member of your family, and just like us, they need regular checkups to stay healthy. Routine wellness exams play a crucial role in detecting health issues early, preventing diseases, and ensuring your pet’s long-term well-being. At True Animal Vet, we believe in proactive care to help your furry companions live their best lives. Regular veterinary visits provide valuable insights into your pet’s health, allowing us to address concerns before they become serious problems.


What Is a Comprehensive Wellness Exam?

A comprehensive wellness exam is a thorough assessment of your pet’s overall health. During the visit, your veterinarian will evaluate various aspects of your pet’s well-being, including:


1. Physical Examination

Your vet will perform a nose-to-tail examination, checking for any abnormalities in the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, skin, and coat. They will also assess weight, body condition, and muscle tone.


2. Vital Signs & Organ Function

A wellness exam includes checking your pet’s heart and lung function, measuring vital signs, and palpating the abdomen to detect any irregularities with internal organs.


3. Vaccinations & Parasite Prevention

Staying up to date on vaccinations protects your pet from potentially life-threatening diseases. Your vet will also discuss parasite prevention, including heartworm, flea, and tick control.


4. Dental Health Evaluation

Oral health is a critical component of overall well-being. Your veterinarian will examine your pet’s teeth and gums for signs of tartar buildup, gum disease, or infections that could impact their quality of life.


5. Nutritional & Behavioral Assessment

Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy weight and preventing chronic diseases. Your vet will provide recommendations based on your pet’s age, breed, and activity level. Additionally, any behavioral concerns, such as anxiety or aggression, can be addressed during the visit.


6. Diagnostic Testing

Routine blood work, urinalysis, and fecal exams help detect underlying health conditions that may not be apparent during a physical exam. Early detection of issues such as diabetes, kidney disease, or infections allows for prompt intervention and better treatment outcomes.


How Often Should Your Pet Have a Wellness Exam?

The frequency of wellness exams depends on your pet’s age and health status.


•          Puppies and kittens should have monthly checkups until they reach adulthood to monitor their growth and ensure they receive all necessary vaccinations.


•          Adult pets (ages 1-7 years) should have an annual wellness exam to maintain good health and catch potential issues early.


•          Senior pets (ages 7+) benefit from bi-annual exams, as they are more susceptible to age-related conditions such as arthritis, vision loss, and organ disease.


The Importance of Preventive Care

Comprehensive wellness exams are more than just a routine checkup—they are a proactive approach to preventing disease and enhancing your pet’s longevity. By identifying health concerns before they become serious, you can save on costly treatments and ensure a better quality of life for your furry friend.
