How Do Wellness Exams Help Your Pet?

The Merrimac Valley Animal Hospital team believes in the importance of annual wellness examinations for each one of our patients. Having your pet brought in to our hospital to be examined by our veterinarians offers them the opportunity to have potential health problems identified earlier. Also, regular check-ups offer our veterinarians the opportunity to keep a check on developing issues in our patients. For example, if we see a pet often enough, we can tell when something is even slightly different from the last visit and can take steps to identify the cause of the change.

What Happens During My Pet’s Wellness Exam?

During your pet’s annual wellness visit, you can expect the following:

• Complete nose-to-tail physical examination
  • Ears
  • Eyes
  • Mouth
  • Skin and hair coat
  • Lumps and bumps check
  • Joints, muscles, and mobility
  • Abdomen
  • Feet
  • …and more
• Vaccinations
• Diagnostics, if preliminary examinations indicate their necessity
• An open conversation with your veterinarian
