Importance of Yearly Wellness Visits

Yearly wellness visits are crucial for your pet’s health. During these visits, our veterinarians conduct thorough examinations, which include:

Listening to the heart and lungs
Examining the eyes and ears
Checking the condition of the skin and coat
Feeling the abdomen to assess internal organs like kidneys, intestines, and bladder

These comprehensive evaluations help us detect potential health issues early, allowing for prompt and effective treatment. Regular visits also allow us to understand your expectations and tailor a health strategy that suits your pet’s needs.

Don’t wait until serious symptoms make themselves obvious. Schedule your pet’s wellness visit today and take a proactive approach to safeguarding their health with consistent, reliable preventative care. We can’t wait to see your furry family members soon!
