Annual Pet Wellness Checkups
Here's what to expect for your pet's annual wellness checkup.
First, your pet will be checked in a general way that starts with a physical examination. This is done to help catch any potential obvious problems such as deformities, growths, areas of pain or discomfort, or mobility issues. During the visit, you’ll discuss your pet’s health at home, and you’ll have the opportunity to convey anything that may be concerning you, such as changes in behavior or appetite, or anything else that’s changed since the last visit. Your vet will also ask you specific questions to highlight common potential issues, as well as to get a better sense of the animal’s lifestyle at home.
Next, your pet’s file will be carefully reviewed, with an eye to ensure that all preventative treatments and any local government-mandated animal treatments are brought up to date during the annual wellness checkup. These may include things like:
- Vaccinations
- Inoculations
- Parasite control treatments
Pet Wellness Services
Annual wellness checkups provide the chance for your pet to receive needed diagnostic procedures and treatment in a wide range of service areas. Additional services that may be conducted during your pet’s annual veterinary checkup include items such as:
- Dental examination and treatment
- Spaying and neutering
- Blood testing
- Heartworm testing and treatment
Pet Wellness Checkups for Special Situations
Consistent wellness checkups are also crucial for pets that fall into special categories, such as aging pets and relative newborns, like puppies and kittens.
Senior Pet Care
Older pets often develop a range of age-related issues, such as loss of appetite, mobility challenges, and failing eyesight. Veterinary wellness checkups support the healthy aging of your beloved pet to help ensure the quality of life for as long as possible.
Puppy and Kitten Care
At a minimum, you should strive to have a puppy or kitten visit at about eight weeks of age. Early wellness checkups can reveal health conditions you should be aware of, as well as build a baseline of health that can be used throughout your new pet’s life. In addition, if you’re a new pet owner, you can receive valuable advice and tips on caring for your young pet, such as tooth brushing techniques and parasite control.
These are just some of the many services and treatment options available during routine veterinary wellness checkups at Acre Hill Veterinary Clinic. We are dedicated to providing the most advanced care for your pet in Rantoul, IL, and we can’t wait to be a part of your pet's life!
