Keeping up with preventive care for your pet through wellness exams is the best way to keep your pet happy and healthy for life. Wellness exams are based upon the age and health needs of your pet. Specific wellness programs can be designed for the individual pet including vaccines, yearly testing, bloodwork and maintenance medications.
When health problems are identified, a medical plan will be outlined to evaluate the problems in depth. If your pet appears to be healthy enough for routine preventive care, your veterinarian will discuss which immunizations are advised, as well as parasite prevention including heartworm disease, intestinal parasites, and ectoparasites (fleas, ticks, etc.). Annual age-appropriate lab tests, testing for heartworm and/or tick-borne diseases, and fecal tests for parasites may also be recommended for your pet.
Finally, your pet’s nutrition, diet, and exercise routines can be assessed and optimized to help your pet be in best physical condition for their lifestyle and age.
