Importance of Wellness Exams


Importance of Pet Wellness Exams

By booking an annual wellness exam for your pet, you can keep up with his healthcare needs. Routine pet care is important for all pets, but even more so if your pet has ongoing health issues. At University Parkway Animal Hospital in Jackson, TN, we offer comprehensive wellness exams for dogs, cats, and other pets. Here’s what you can expect from our veterinary team.

Physical Examination

Wellness care includes giving your pet an annual physical exam. During an exam, our veterinarian will inspect your pet for signs of sickness or disease. We’ll examine your pet’s body to include eyes, ears, mouth, and joints and check his body size and weight. We’ll take his temperature and listen to his heart and lungs. We’ll also take note of the condition of his skin and coat. Skin problems like rashes, redness, and bald spots could an indication of allergies or fleas.

Vaccinations

If your pet is due for vaccinations, we’ll take this opportunity to give him his booster shots. Vaccines are essential to your pet’s health. Keeping your pet on a regular vaccination schedule can protect him from infectious diseases that can seriously impair his health.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic testing can help uncover hidden health problems with your pet so he can get appropriate treatment. During a wellness visit, we’ll determine if your pet needs x-rays, blood, urine, or fecal tests to detect infections or problems with his kidneys, liver, or heart. Early diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions can help save your pet’s life.

Wellness Recommendations

As your pet ages, he may need changes to his diet or exercise regimen to boost his health. Our Jackson, TN veterinarian can provide valuable counsel on how to keep your senior pet healthy and strong in his senior years.
