Wellness exams and vaccinations are the foundation of preventive care for your pet. Regular wellness exams allow veterinarians to monitor your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of illness, and discuss nutrition, behavior, and lifestyle needs. During the exam, your vet will perform a nose-to-tail assessment—checking the eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, skin, and abdomen—and may recommend routine tests such as bloodwork or fecal screening to catch hidden issues early.

Vaccinations are another key part of keeping pets healthy, protecting them from contagious and potentially life-threatening diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Your veterinarian will tailor a vaccine schedule based on your pet’s age, species, lifestyle, and risk factors. Together, regular checkups and timely vaccinations help ensure a long, healthy, and happy life for your pet.
