As a pet owner, it’s important to understand that wellness exams are a crucial aspect of maintaining your pet’s health and well-being. Annual check-ups can help detect any underlying health issues before they become serious problems.
Here are some key reasons why wellness exams are important for your pet:
- Early Detection of Health Issues: Wellness exams provide an opportunity for our team to identify any health issues in your pet early on, before the condition becomes more serious. This can save you both time and money since early diagnosis and treatment is often less expensive and less invasive.
- Preventative Care: Regular wellness exams help prevent health problems before they occur. For example, dentistry services can help with dental problems, and flea or tick prevention can reduce the likelihood of your pet acquiring parasites.
- Establishing a Baseline: During a wellness check-up, our team can establish a baseline for your pet’s health, such as their weight, temperature, and general behavior. This baseline information will help determine any changes in your pet’s health during follow-up visits.
- Vaccinations and General Health: Routine vaccinations will protect your pet against common illnesses and diseases. And, wellness exams can also help ensure your pet stays healthy overall, as well as help make recommendations for their diet and exercise.
