What's included in a home wellness exam

  • Comprehensive physical exam — eyes, ears, teeth, skin, coat, lymph nodes, abdomen, heart, lungs
  • Blood pressure assessment
  • ECG (electrocardiogram) screening when indicated
  • Weight and body condition scoring
  • Parasite risk assessment
  • Personalized preventive health plan

Why a home wellness exam is more thorough

A wellness exam is the foundation of preventive care — the visit where Dr. Susset Diaz Castillo catches small changes before they become serious problems. Examining your pet at home typically produces more accurate vital signs because there's no car-ride stress or waiting-room anxiety inflating heart rate and blood pressure. It also gives Dr. Diaz time to observe your pet's natural behavior and discuss diet, weight, dental care, and lifestyle in context.

How often your pet should be seen

Healthy adult dogs and cats benefit from a yearly wellness exam, while seniors (dogs 7+, cats 10+) and pets with chronic conditions are best seen every six months so issues like kidney disease, arthritis, and dental disease can be caught early. Each visit ends with a personalized health plan tailored to your individual pet.
