At University Parkway Animal Hospital in Jackson, TN, we believe that regular pet wellness exams are essential for maintaining your pet’s overall health and well-being. These exams are vital in identifying potential health issues early, allowing for prompt treatment and ensuring your pet lives a long, healthy life.

What Are Pet Wellness Exams?

Pet wellness exams are routine check-ups performed by our veterinarian to assess your pet’s health. During these exams, we examine your pet’s physical condition, including their eyes, ears, teeth, and skin, as well as check their heart rate, weight, and overall energy levels. These exams provide a thorough review of your pet’s health to catch any underlying issues early on.

Benefits of Regular Pet Exams

Regular wellness exams help detect any early signs of illness, which can prevent more serious health problems down the line. For example, routine exams can uncover dental disease, skin conditions, or weight issues that, if left untreated, could lead to more severe complications. Preventive care, like vaccinations and flea and tick prevention, is also incorporated during these exams, further supporting your pet’s health.

What to Expect During a Wellness Exam

When you bring your pet to University Parkway Animal Hospital, our veterinarian will conduct a thorough physical exam. We will check your pet’s vital signs and may recommend additional tests, such as blood work or imaging, based on their age, breed, and health status. During this time, you can also discuss any concerns you may have about your pet’s behavior or general well-being.
