A wellness exam is a comprehensive check-up that helps to ensure your pet is healthy and free of any medical issues. During the exam, the veterinarian will perform a physical examination of your pet, checking their eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, skin, coat, heart, lungs, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system. They will also ask you about your pet's behavior, diet, exercise, and any changes you have noticed in their health or behavior since their last exam. Based on the findings of the exam, the veterinarian may recommend additional tests or treatments if necessary. Overall, a wellness exam is an important tool for maintaining your pet's health and preventing potential health problems before they become serious.

Pets should have a wellness exam at least once a year, but more frequent exams may be necessary for older pets or pets with underlying health conditions. Regular exams allow our veterinary team to detect and treat health problems early, before they become more serious.

Yes, vaccines are generally safe for pets. Like any medical treatment, vaccines may cause mild side effects such as fever or lethargy, but these are usually temporary and resolve on their own. Serious reactions to vaccines are rare, and our veterinary team takes steps to minimize any risks associated with vaccination. We will discuss any potential risks and benefits of vaccines with you before administering them to your pet.
