Your pets might look and act fine but regular wellness exams may still be important. These exams can help detect early signs of health issues with your pets so they can be addressed right away. Annual wellness exams are also when your pets can have vaccinations updated or receive specialized care as needed, such as deworming as part of puppy care. We also offer spay and neuter procedures. At Oviedo Veterinary Care and Emergency in Oviedo, FL, a veterinarian near you is here to help with different pet care options, including emergency care.
Early Detection of Health Problems
Wellness exams for pets are a crucial part of finding health issues early. Some diseases and conditions don’t cause noticeable symptoms until the later stages. Finding these issues early means your pets can start being treated sooner rather than later. In some cases, early detection can prevent health issues from developing into diseases. A vet on our team can thoroughly check your pet for signs and symptoms of a wide range of conditions.
Check Weight and Nutrition
Pet obesity is a problem that can lead to chronic health issues. During wellness exams, we can check your pet’s weight and, if needed, we can recommend ways to help overweight pets lose weight. We can also discuss your pet’s nutrition and diet to make sure he is getting all of the nutrients he needs.
Guidance on Training or Behavioral Issues
Wellness exams provide a chance for you to discuss behavioral concerns you have about your pets. You can also ask for advice on training your pets, whether they need basic obedience training or more specific training to address a behavioral issue. We can also check for underlying health issues that could be causing changes in your pet's behavior.
When to Schedule Wellness Exams for Pets
If it’s been awhile since your pets have had an exam, now might a good time to set them up. Otherwise, it may be a good idea to plan on scheduling an annual wellness exam. Senior pets, younger pets, and pets with health conditions might need to have these exams done more often. A vet on our team can let you know when your pets should come in for wellness exams.
