Dual Pet Wellness Exams

What to Expect During a Pet Wellness Exam

During a pet wellness exam at Elm Creek Animal Hospital, our veterinarians conduct a detailed assessment to ensure your pet is in good health. These exams are essential for establishing a health baseline, which helps us detect any changes that may indicate health issues. Here’s what the process typically involves:

• Thorough Physical Examination: Our veterinarians carefully examine your pet from nose to tail. This includes checking vital signs, listening to the heart and lungs, and assessing the condition of your pet’s skin, coat, eyes, ears, and teeth.
• Weight Monitoring: Maintaining a healthy weight is critical for your pet’s health. We monitor your pet’s weight and offer guidance on diet and exercise if adjustments are needed.
• Preventative Care Discussion: We discuss your pet’s diet, exercise routine, and any preventive measures that could benefit their health. This might include vaccinations, parasite control, and dental care.
• Early Detection of Health Issues: One key benefit of regular wellness exams is the early detection of potential health problems. Our goal is to identify issues before they become serious, making treatment more effective and increasing the chances of a full recovery.
