Pet Wellness Exams
What Are Pet Wellness Exams?
A pet wellness exam is a proactive, nose-to-tail health checkup designed to monitor your dog or cat’s overall well-being. These visits allow veterinarians to track changes over time, provide age-appropriate vaccinations, screen for parasites or illness, and address any concerns before they become serious.
By using wellness exams as a chance to focus on early detection, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance, our team helps pets stay healthier and happier. At Highland Pointe Animal Hospital, we approach every exam with a commitment to providing the compassion and attentiveness your pet deserves. Serving families in Flower Mound, Highland Village, and nearby communities, our AAHA-accredited team is committed to delivering thorough, compassionate care at every stage of your pet’s life.
What to Expect During a Wellness Exam
Wellness exams are more than a quick checkup—they are a complete health assessment tailored to your pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle. During a pet wellness exam, our veterinarians will:
- Perform a nose-to-tail physical examination
- Check your pet’s heart, lungs, eyes, ears, and skin
- Assess weight, nutrition, and dental health
- Administer core and lifestyle-based vaccinations
- Recommend parasite prevention strategies
- Discuss behavioral or lifestyle concerns
- Suggest lab testing when needed to monitor internal health
Each exam provides a chance to ask questions and work with our veterinary team to create a care plan that supports your pet’s unique needs.
Why Wellness Exams Matter
Pets age much faster than humans, which means health changes can develop quickly. Annual—or more frequent—pet checkups help us detect issues such as dental disease, arthritis, thyroid problems, or heart conditions before they become advanced or painful. Preventive care not only saves costs long-term but also helps pets live more comfortable, healthier lives.
Regular wellness visits also ensure your pet stays up to date on vaccinations and parasite prevention, reducing risks to both pets and the humans who love them.
