Pet Wellness Exams
Pet wellness exams are a tool to monitor your pet's health and any changes that might point to an issue that needs to be treated. These exams are essential to keeping your pet healthy, active, and feeling great. They are typically comprehensive exams that consider every aspect of your pet's health. A comprehensive wellness exam may include the following:
- A full physical examination
- Vaccinations and inoculations
- Parasite prevention and control
- Micro-chipping
- Dental exam
- Blood testing
- Fecal testing
- Pet parent education
- Nutritional counseling
Issues of Concern During an Exam
We take our pets to routine wellness exams to confirm they are healthy, but sometimes, a surprise lurks within the details. If your vet catches it early, this problem could be an easily treatable annoyance. If left untreated, it could threaten the life of your pet. These are a few abnormalities or health concerns that could be discovered during a wellness exam:
- Heart concerns
- Allergy problems
- Ear or eye infections
- Arthritis
- Obesity
- Dental issues
- Gastrointestinal concerns
- Diabetes
Exceptions to the Rules
Most pets do well with annual wellness exams. However, puppies, kittens, seniors, and disabled pets may require more frequent visits due to factors concerning the immune system, age, health, disability, or other considerations. Consult with your vet about scheduling information for your pet.
How to Prepare for a Pet Wellness Exam
At Jurupa Hills Animal Hospital, we understand the challenges of keeping appointments and remembering everything you want to share with your vet. Preparation is always the best policy, so we've listed a few simple tasks you can do before your appointment to make it go quicker and more smoothly.
- Print or copy vet records from your pet's previous veterinarian, including vaccination and health records documenting medications, dates, etc.
- Take snapshots of your pet's prescriptions, including treats, supplements, and food labels.
- Bring a Ziploc baggie of a fresh stool sample.
