Why Pet Wellness Exams Matter

Preventive care isn’t just for avoiding illness — it’s about building a long, comfortable life for your pet. Regular wellness visits:

Catch early warning signs of disease before they become serious

Help manage chronic conditions more effectively

Keep vaccinations and parasite prevention on schedule

Support behavioural health and weight management

Strengthen the bond between your pet and veterinary team

Without routine exams, subtle changes in your pet’s health may go unnoticed until they lead to costly or complex issues.

FAQs About Pet Wellness Care

How often should my pet have a wellness exam?

What vaccinations does my pet need?

Pets typically require a set of “core” vaccines to protect against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and other serious illnesses, but individual recommendations depend on each patient’s needs. We’ll recommend core and lifestyle vaccines based on your pet’s age, environment, and risk factors.

Can wellness exams detect hidden health problems?

Yes. Physical exams, lab tests, and discussions about behaviour and habits often uncover early-stage issues before symptoms appear.

My pet doesn’t go outside. Do they still need parasite prevention?

Your pet still needs parasite prevention, even if they rarely or never go outside. Pests can still slip inside undetected, whether because they’re accidentally brought in or happen to enter through an open door or window, and can infect your pet with serious, often fatal illnesses. Parasite prevention is the most reliable way to protect your pet from these issues, and we strongly recommend keeping your pet on one regardless of lifestyle. However, our team will happily recommend a preventative to best suit your pet’s habits and activities.
