Pet Wellness Exam
Staying on top of your pet’s preventive care is the best way to help them live a long, healthy, and joyful life.
Our veterinarians and support team care about the cats and dogs in and around our Redlands, CA community. Performing pet wellness exams is an essential part of our commitment, providing pet parents the chance to check in on their companion’s health, catch potential concerns, and keep up-to-date on preventive care.
Annual Physical Exams: A Key to Health for All Ages
Bringing your pet in for an annual physical exam with our skilled veterinarians is a proactive way to keep their health on the right track. These yearly visits are important for detecting any underlying health issues, updating vaccinations, and performing diagnostic tests to catch health problems as they develop. Our veterinary team examines each pet individually, evaluating everything from heart and lung function to skin, eyes, ears, and joints. We will also recommend scheduling your pet’s annual dental cleaning.
Pet wellness exams are customized to each pet’s life stage. Young pets in their first year of life often need more frequent check-ups as they grow, while adults can benefit from an annual check-in. Senior pets may require additional visits and monitoring as they age. Keeping up with these vet exams provides our team with valuable insights into your pet’s overall health and allows us to adjust their care plan as needed.
Flea, Tick, & Heartworm Prevention and Medication
Parasites, such as fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms, are common health risks that every pet faces. During your pet’s annual wellness exam, we’ll recommend the most effective parasite prevention based on lifestyle and environment. Preventive measures not only protect your pet’s health but also help to prevent the spread of parasites in your home and community. Our team will conduct routine testing for common parasites and review any symptoms that might indicate an infestation. Yearly pet wellness exams are a great time to pick up parasite preventatives with our in-house pharmacy and make sure your pet is protected year-round.
Nutritional and Behavioral Support
Pet wellness exams are also the perfect opportunity to ask questions about your pet’s diet, weight, and behavior. Our veterinarians provide advice on nutrition and the best pet food brands, helping you make informed decisions about food choices, portion sizes, and any dietary supplements that may benefit your pet. Behaviorally, we have insights on everything from training tips for young pets to ways to keep older pets mentally and physically engaged. No question is too small—our team is here to support your role as a pet parent and to provide guidance for your pet’s overall wellness.
Have a New Puppy or Kitten?
If you’ve recently added a puppy or kitten to your family, congratulations! The first few months are critical for establishing a foundation of good health and happiness. New puppies and kittens should be seen by a veterinarian for a pet wellness exam as soon as possible to set up a customized care plan. Our team will provide a vaccination schedule, initiate deworming treatments, and discuss the benefits of microchipping. Kittens will be treated in our Cat Treatment Room, with its own cages and exam table, for their comfort. By establishing a baseline of health at these early visits, we can monitor your pet’s development and make sure they’re on the right track.
