The veterinarians at Pet Hospital of North Park recommend a wellness examination for your pet once yearly if between the ages of one and eight years old, and twice-yearly when over eight years old. The wellness examination will include a complete and thorough history of your pet’s wellness, including information about your pet’s current diet, flea control program, behavior or nutrition issues, and any concurrent medical conditions or medications. The veterinarian will perform a complete physical examination of your pet to evaluate the health of every system, including teeth, eyes, ears, listening to the heart and lungs, checking for any abnormalities in the abdomen, your pet’s skin and hair coat health, and for any new lumps or bumps. These wellness exams are the chance for you to bring any medical concerns to the attention of your veterinarian to ensure that diseases are detected and treated as early as possible to ensure your pet’s general health and well-being.
