Wellness exams: quick answers

What is it?

A thorough nose-to-tail checkup — heart, weight, and full vitals — to catch health problems early.

Why would my pet need it?

Regular exams find issues before they become emergencies, especially for anxious, senior, or hard-to-transport pets.

Why is it better with us?

A home visit can reduce common stressors such as car travel and busy waiting rooms. Examining your pet in familiar surroundings also lets Dr. Diaz observe their usual behavior. Each pet responds differently, and an examination can still cause anxiety.

What's included in a home wellness exam

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

When advanced diagnostics are needed

ECG (EKG) is included in the Sick Visits, Diagnostics & Treatments package or its equivalent comprehensive member visit when medically appropriate. It is not automatically included in the Wellness + Vaccination Visit. Our team explains any recommended package change and its cost and obtains your approval before proceeding.

Why a home wellness exam is more thorough

A wellness exam is the foundation of preventive care — an opportunity to identify health changes and discuss further testing or follow-up when needed. Familiar surroundings can support a calmer examination and help Dr. Diaz interpret vital signs in context. They also let her observe your pet's usual behavior and discuss diet, weight, dental care, and lifestyle. No examination can detect every health problem.

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.
