A spring wellness exam for pets<\/a> <\/strong>starts the fresh new season off on the best paw possible. Your vet can address any ongoing health concerns your pet has. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Health Check<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During a wellness exam,<\/a> a veterinarian will perform a detailed physical examination, assessing vital signs, skin, fur, eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, and joint health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lab Work <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To tailor preventative care, your veterinarian may suggest blood, urine, or stool tests based on your pet’s age, breed, and health history, to screen for potential health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleas and ticks love the spring just as much as you and your pet do. That\u2019s why flea and tick prevention<\/a> is crucial this time of year. Pests can be annoying, sure, but they can also spread worrisome diseases.
