Preventative Pet Care Exams in Saint Johns, FL
A routine wellness exam is the best way to catch health issues before they become serious. During your visit, our veterinarians perform a comprehensive physical assessment to ensure your pet is thriving.
Our Wellness Exams Include:
- A thorough check of your pet’s weight, coat, and overall body condition.
- A detailed examination of the eyes, ears, and oral cavity for signs of infection or dental disease.
- Checking heart and lung sounds, and gently pressing on the abdomen to assess organ health and any areas of discomfort
Additional Screening
To get a deeper look at your pet's health, we may recommend additional testing based on their age, lifestyle, or symptoms. These proactive steps include:
- Heartworm Screening: A simple blood draw to ensure your pet is protected from common Florida parasites.
- Comprehensive Blood Work & Urinalysis: Advanced testing to monitor organ function and catch hidden illnesses early.
- Intestinal Parasite Screening: Routine testing to keep your pet, and your home, safe and parasite-free.
Why Is Preventative Care So Important?
Preventative appointments are essential for detecting hidden health concerns—such as tumors, skin infections, and parasites—long before they become serious. By identifying these issues early, we can provide more effective treatment and ensure your pet enjoys a vibrant, healthy life year-round. In line with American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) guidelines, we recommend an annual wellness exam for every pet.
