The Importance of Pet Wellness Exams

When your cat is hiding in new spaces, or your dog isn’t waiting at the door for you as usual, you worry that your pet might be ill. However, not all illnesses lead to new or changed behaviors. For these kinds of subtle illnesses, regular pet wellness exams are critical methods of monitoring your pet’s health – and staying ahead of illness before it becomes obvious. During regular wellness exams, your vet or vet technician will:

  • Check their eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, skin, and coat
  • Listen to their heart and lungs
  • Palpate their abdomen
  • Check their weight

And may choose to do other small examinations. Depending on the breed, this might include more closely examining your pet for issues common to the breed, such as checking a German Shepherd for early signs of hip dysplasia, for instance. Proactive and meaningful care requires tailored and considerate veterinary experts like the kind you will receive when you come to Healing Paws Animal Hospital!
