Wellness Exams at Calusa Crossing Animal Hospital
Regular wellness exams are essential to maintaining your pet’s health. At Calusa Crossing Animal Hospital, we offer comprehensive wellness exams designed to assess your pet’s overall health and catch any potential health issues early. Our experienced veterinarians provide a thorough examination and individualized care, helping pets live longer, healthier lives.
What to Expect During a Wellness Exam
During a wellness exam at Calusa Crossing Animal Hospital, our veterinarians will perform a detailed physical examination. Each wellness exam is customized to your pet’s age, breed, and unique health needs. This examination covers:
Oral Exam
Examining teeth and gums to help prevent dental disease, which can impact overall health.
Assessing heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature to identify potential health concerns.
Feeling for any unusual lumps or tenderness that may indicate internal health issues.
Identifying signs of arthritis, injury, or discomfort, especially for senior pets.
Screening for infections, discharge, or other signs of illness.
Checking for signs of skin conditions, parasites, or abnormalities.
Monitoring for a healthy weight and body condition, which helps to address underweight concerns and prevent obesity-related health issues.
Comprehensive Vaccination and Preventive Care for Pets of All Ages
As part of a wellness exam, our team will review your pet’s vaccination records and ensure they’re up-to-date on all essential immunizations. We also discuss preventive care, such as heartworm prevention, flea and tick control, and deworming, to protect your pet from common parasites and diseases.
Whether you have a playful puppy or kitten or a senior companion, Calusa Crossing Animal Hospital provides age-appropriate care. Puppies and kittens benefit from more frequent exams to ensure proper growth and immunity development. For adult pets, annual exams support ongoing health, with senior pets possibly requiring more frequent visits to monitor age-related changes. Our veterinarians customize wellness plans to address specific needs at every stage of your pet’s life.
