Wellness Exam

Category: Preventive Care

A wellness exam is a comprehensive health check to ensure an animal's overall well-being. During a wellness exam, the vet will perform a thorough examination of the animal. They will check the animal's weight, temperature, and heart rate. The vet will also examine the animal's eyes, ears, and mouth. This helps to identify any signs of illness or disease. Blood tests may be done to check for underlying health issues. The vet will discuss the animal's diet and lifestyle with the owner. This is a good time to ask questions about the animal's health. Regular wellness exams help to keep the animal healthy and prevent serious health problems. They allow the vet to catch issues early when they are easier to treat. Pet owners should schedule regular wellness exams for their animals to ensure they stay healthy and happy.
