Pet Wellness Examinations
Establishing a baseline for health and spotting early disease symptoms are the main objectives of wellness checks for pets. Our veterinarians thoroughly assess the health of your pet utilizing both their knowledge and veterinary diagnostic equipment.
Pet Wellness Examinations
At San Antonio Animal Hospital, keeping your pet healthy is important to us, and regular wellness examinations are the foundation to helping him live a longer, healthier, happier life. Wellness covers far more than vaccinations; it also includes preventive care such as heartworm and intestinal parasite testing, nose-to-tail exams, and comprehensive evaluations of overall health. San Antonio Animal Hospital provides high-quality, compassionate veterinary care for pets and their owners living in San Antonio as well as nearby communities of Dade City, Zephyrhills, Wesley Chapel, and Ridge Manor.
Regular wellness examinations — at least once or twice a year — are the most important preventive measure that you can provide for your pet. Vaccinations are just one component of the wellness visit. To help keep your pet in optimum health, regular wellness examinations are critical — regardless of how often vaccines are administered.
Remember, pets age at a much faster rate than humans, so a once-yearly exam is similar to a human getting a physical every 5-7 years. Plus, they don’t always show signs of early disease, and they can’t easily communicate discomfort to us. During the wellness exam, our veterinarians have an opportunity to detect and prevent problems at an early stage.
One of the advantages of easy disease detection is the reduced cost of health care. It is typically more cost-effective to collect baseline or yearly recommended blood tests, provide better nutrition, or provide for non-urgent care for your pet before the need becomes urgent. We look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!
