What to Expect with Pet Wellness Care
Wellness care is a broad term that covers several key services and treatments for your pet. It involves routine checkups with our team to ensure a clean bill of health for your four-legged family member, and allows us to administer any necessary treatment for an issue that has developed since your pet’s last visit.
Pet wellness care typically includes:
- A nose-to-tail physical examination and evaluation of the heart and lungs
- Screening for infections, parasites, and other internal issues with blood work and fecal testing
- The administration of any recommended vaccinations
- A conversation about your pet’s nutrition, behavior, lifestyle, and other important factors
- The opportunity for you to ask any questions you have or address concerns about your pet
- Treatment for an existing health problem
Why Annual and Biannual Pet Exams are Important
Why do we need to see your pet once or twice a year for an exam? Is it really necessary? At Aurora Veterinary Care, our team is dedicated to helping you manage your pet’s health so you can share many happy years together. We know how quickly a pet’s condition can change, because they age much more quickly than we do! Checking in once or twice a year with you and your pet makes it possible for us to detect underlying disease processes sooner and treat them before they can cause more trouble for your pet.
Additionally, as your pet ages and enters their senior phase, their health becomes more fragile and their risk for disease is greater. Seeing your pet more frequently in their senior years helps us work with you to improve your pet’s quality of life and make their golden years more comfortable.
