A Closer Look at the Pet Wellness Exam

During a wellness exam, we closely examine your pet's body condition, coat, eyes, ears, and oral health. We also discuss your pet's diet, exercise, and any changes in behavior, which can be crucial indicators of their condition.

A comprehensive wellness exam at Addison County Mobile Veterinary Services includes:

Routine Lab Work

Starting at 7 months, we recommend puppies and kittens undergo their first blood test to screen for heartworm, tick-borne diseases, and, in cats, the feline triple (heartworm, FIV, and FeLV). This early detection plays a pivotal role in keeping your pet healthy.

Fecal Screening

Essential for identifying parasites, we recommend fecal exams annually to ensure your pet remains parasite-free.

Bloodwork Panels

Beginning around 5-7 years of age, regular bloodwork panels help us track trends in your pet's health, including annual complete blood count and urinalysis. This is especially vital for senior pets to enable early detection of diseases.

Vaccinations

Tailored to your pet's lifestyle and age, vaccinations are crucial for protecting against a variety of diseases.

The Vital Role of Parasite Prevention

Parasites are a major nuisance, but they can also pose a health risk to your pet and to your human family members. Preventative measures, including regular heartworm tests and fecal exams, are key to keeping these unwanted guests at bay. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized parasite control plan that suits your pet's specific needs.

Preventative Care: The Proactive Approach

Embracing a proactive approach to your pet's health through vaccines, annual exams, preventatives, and lab work can spare your pet from many preventable diseases and conditions, ensuring they lead a long, joyful life.
