Wellness Exams

Wellness exams at Andrews Veterinary Clinic provide preventive care, health screenings, and personalized recommendations to support lifelong pet health.

Wellness Exams and Preventive Care

Wellness care is the foundation of lifelong health for your pet. At Andrews Veterinary Clinic, routine wellness exams help us evaluate your pet's overall condition, identify health concerns before they become more serious, and keep preventive care current. Even healthy pets benefit from regular checkups that support early detection and ongoing wellbeing.

Why Wellness Exams Matter

Dogs and cats can experience health changes much faster than people, and many medical conditions develop without obvious symptoms. Routine wellness visits allow our veterinary team to monitor your pet's health, identify concerns early, and provide recommendations that support every stage of life. During these visits, we can:

·         Monitor your pet's overall health over time

·         Detect dental disease, arthritis, or weight changes early

·         Help prevent parasites and other avoidable illnesses

·         Offer guidance on nutrition, behavior, exercise, and daily care

Regular examinations also help your pet become more comfortable with veterinary visits, making future appointments less stressful.

What's Included in a Wellness Visit?

Each wellness exam is tailored to your pet and may include:

·         Comprehensive physical examination of the eyes, ears, teeth, skin, heart, lungs, and joints

·         Weight and body condition assessment

·         Review of recommended vaccinations

·         Parasite screening and heartworm testing when appropriate

·         Oral health evaluation

·         Discussion of diet, lifestyle, and behavior

·         Bloodwork or additional diagnostic testing when needed

How Often Should Pets Be Seen?

·         Puppies and kittens: Several wellness visits during the first year

·         Adult pets (1–7 years): Every 6–12 months

·         Senior pets (7+ years): Every 6 months

The ideal schedule depends on your pet's age, lifestyle, medical history, and individual health needs. Your veterinarian will recommend the timing that's right for your companion.

Routine wellness care helps pets stay healthier by focusing on prevention, early diagnosis, and proactive care. Whether your pet is due for a checkup or you have questions about their health, Andrews Veterinary Clinic is here to provide trusted care for every stage of life.
