Wellness Exam
All
pets need to be examined at least
once a year in order to prevent or detect
health problems. The physical examination
is also an opportunity for you to discuss
important wellness issues with the doctor.
It’s one of the best ways to help your
pet keep healthy and around as long as
possible.
The Main Benefits
are:
Puppies
and kittens —
to make sure they’re growing properly
and getting the right vaccinations and
medications, as well as to spot any inborn
abnormalities or parasite infestations.
Adolescent
pets —
to help you catch health problems before
they can become serious.
Older
pets —
to prevent or manage the onset of many
age-related chronic diseases, such as
arthritis, cancer, dental problems,
diabetes, kidney disease, or heart
trouble.
