Wellness Care

Here's what to expect at your pet's annual wellness checkup: Physical exam. We start with a full physical exam to catch anything that stands out, such as deformities, unusual growths, areas of pain or discomfort, or issues with movement. A conversation about home life. You'll have a chance to share anything on your mind, changes in behavior, appetite, or anything else that's shifted since the last visit.

If you're a first-time pet owner, this visit is also a great opportunity to get hands-on guidance, including tooth brushing techniques and parasite prevention.
