Pet Wellness Exams/Vaccinations

Pet Wellness Exams/vaccinations

Regular wellness exams are an important part of keeping your pet happy and healthy throughout every stage of life. Whether you have a new puppy or kitten, an active adult pet, or a beloved senior companion, routine exams allow our veterinary team to establish a health baseline, monitor changes over time, and identify potential concerns early.

During your pet’s wellness exam, our veterinarian will perform a thorough physical examination, evaluating their major body systems from nose to tail. We’ll also talk with you about your pet’s appetite, activity level, behavior, lifestyle, nutrition, and any changes or concerns you may have noticed at home.

Wellness visits are also the perfect time to review your pet’s vaccination and parasite prevention needs and discuss routine diagnostic testing, such as bloodwork, urinalysis, or other screenings appropriate for their age and individual health needs.

Even when your pet seems perfectly healthy, regular exams can reveal subtle changes—such as weight gain or loss, dental disease, skin changes, new lumps or bumps, or other early signs of illness—that may not be obvious at home.

At Patterson Veterinary Hospital, our goal is to work together with you to provide proactive, personalized care that helps your pet enjoy a healthier life by your side.
