A pet wellness exam is one of the most important aspects of preventative care for a pet, allowing a vet to check for diseases, give vaccines, and potentially provide pet dental care. At Glastonbury Animal Hospital, we can provide the pet wellness care your pet needs if you are looking for a veterinarian in Glastonbury, CT, and Marlborough, CT.
What Happens during a Pet Wellness Exam
During a pet wellness exam, a veterinarian on our team will come examine your pet. We may check how much he weights, feel him for anything abnormal on its body, and take his temperature. We may have t our staff draw his blood and ask you if you've noticed any changes since the last visit, like maybe a difference in its stool or if he has been thirstier than usual.
Our staff will also ask about vaccines and provide any that are on the schedule. We may also look at your pet's teeth and gums to see if there are any signs of gum disease. If there is, we may schedule a dental cleaning.
When Should You Do Get a Pet Wellness Exam?
When your pet is an adult, you may ask you bring him to the vet every year. As he moves into his senior years, however, we may recommend he comes in every six months. That's because a lot can happen to his body as it reaches an advanced age and getting an exam once every six months can help catch things earlier than if your pet went once a year.
Be sure to monitor your pet in between those visits. If you see anything concerning, contact our team and bring them in. It's better to be safe than sorry and your pet will be grateful that you're looking out for him.
