Annual wellness examinations are truly one of the best investments you can make in your pet\u2019s health, happiness, and longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Ounce of Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know our pets better than anyone else, but how are we to know whether or not their liver or kidneys are at peak performance, or when their joints are beginning to feel the effects of arthritis?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual wellness exam is our chance to get to know your pet better and to catch any problems that may be brewing before they get out of hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pet Wellness Rundown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking a thorough health history of your pet, your veterinarian will perform a \u201cnose-to-tail\u201d examination of your pet\u2019s ears, eyes, abdomen, skin, coat, heart, lungs, and musculoskeletal system. Diagnostic testing may also be useful in determining your pet\u2019s health baseline. Other aspects of your pet\u2019s wellness exam includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dental health<\/strong> \u2013 Up to 85% of dogs and cats have some form of dental disease by the time they reach age three. Untreated dental disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, infection, widespread systemic problems, and decreased life expectancy. We will assess your pet\u2019s oral health at each visit and make recommendations for follow-up home and professional care.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Nutrition and exercise<\/strong> \u2013 Pet obesity and its associated health issues are on the rise, which is why we take a close look at your pet\u2019s weight, activity levels, and nutritional status. Your veterinarian will help you formulate a plan to meet your pet\u2019s needs for proper nutrition and exercise.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Disease prevention<\/strong> \u2013 Vaccinations and year-round parasite control are designed to protect your pet against communicable and vector-borne disease. The recommendations for your pet will be tailored to their species, age, and lifestyle.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Behavioral concerns<\/strong> \u2013 Behavior problems in pets can be stressful for the whole family. The annual wellness exam is a great opportunity to seek advice from your veterinarian, especially since some behavior problems stem from underlying health concerns.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Spay\/neuter<\/strong> \u2013 Having your pet spayed or neutered can protect them from certain health conditions as well as reduces pet overpopulation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pet Wellness Begins at Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides making a commitment to your pet\u2019s annual physical exams (or bi-annual for senior pets), taking care of their health on a daily basis is the other piece of their wellness puzzle. Make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and a highly nutritious diet, and follow your veterinarian\u2019s recommendations for home dental care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together we can keep your pet healthy and happy for the long haul.
