Wellness Exams for Dogs & Cats
Regular check-ups are the foundation of a long, healthy, happy life for your pet.
Quick answer
A wellness exam is a routine head-to-tail health check for your dog or cat. We recommend one at least once a year (more often for puppies, kittens and seniors) to catch issues early, keep vaccines and parasite prevention current, and track your pet’s weight and overall health.
Why wellness exams matter
Pets are experts at hiding discomfort. A regular exam lets our veterinarians spot subtle changes long before they become serious — and more treatable — problems.
Beyond the physical check, your wellness visit is the perfect time to ask questions about behaviour, diet, weight or anything else you’ve noticed at home.
What we check
- Heart and lungs, eyes, ears, mouth and skin
- Weight, body condition and mobility
- Vaccination and parasite-prevention status
- Age-appropriate screening recommendations
How often should my pet be seen?
Healthy adult dogs and cats benefit from a yearly exam. Puppies and kittens need a series of early visits, and senior pets do best with check-ups twice a year, since they age more quickly than we do.
