Wellness Exams
Just like how people take their children to the doctor for a checkup, our pets need regular wellness exams too. Cats and dogs age much more quickly than we do, and diseases can quickly turn a healthy pet ill. With proper wellness care at our clinic here in Playas del coco, our veterinarian can identify signs of medical conditions or illnesses early on, allowing us to quickly and effectively treat your pet. This often has the added benefit of being more cost-effective for owners as well.
If you’ve just adopted a new cat or dog, we can help give you an idea of the ideal time between wellness exams for your furry friend. Older pets may benefit from coming in more often, as they’re prone to developing a variety of health issues. Not every breed will be considered a senior at the same time, though. We make sure to make recommendations based on your pet’s individual situation and condition.
Wellness Exam
At your pet’s wellness exam, our veterinarian will examine their physical health from top to bottom and inside to out. We’re looking for anything out of the ordinary that may indicate a problem, including new lumps under the skin, film over the eyes, harsh breathing, unusual heartbeats and any other possible warning sign. Our goal is to make sure you walk out of our clinic feeling confident in your pet’s overall wellbeing.
It’s important to bring your pet to the veterinary clinic for wellness care before signs and symptoms of a disease start showing up. With a solid health history, we can more accurately identify problems. This often includes previous urinalysis and blood tests.
