Wellness Exams
Wellness Is The Best Prevention
At Morningside Animal Care Center, we believe regular checkups are key to helping your pet enjoy a long, healthy life. Alongside vaccinations, parasite prevention, and good nutrition, wellness exams allow us to thoroughly assess your pet’s overall health and catch any issues early on—giving your furry family member the best chance at lifelong wellness.
What To Expect:
During each visit, our veterinarians will perform a comprehensive physical exam that covers all aspects of your pet’s health:
We’ll observe your pet’s overall demeanor, alertness, movement, and weight to ensure they’re on track for their age and size.
We’ll check for any skin or coat concerns, such as oiliness, dryness, lumps, hair loss or unusual shedding.
Your pet’s eyes, ears, and nose will be checked for any signs of discharge or abnormalities, and we’ll examine their mouth for plaque or gum issues.
We’ll check your pet’s heart, lungs, lymph nodes, and abdomen to ensure all internal systems are functioning well and that there are no signs of discomfort.
After the exam, we’ll review our findings and discuss your pet’s nutritional needs to help keep them feeling their best.
Specialized Checkups for All Ages
Starting life strong is essential for puppies and kittens. We’ll provide a full examination, immunizations, deworming, and parasite testing, plus a take-home kit with tips and samples to support your new pet’s growth. We’re always here to answer your questions—just ask.
With today’s advances in veterinary care, senior pets are living longer, fuller lives. As pets age, they may need additional tests and treatments for age-related conditions, such as arthritis or vision changes. These exams help us address new needs and keep your senior pet comfortable and active.
During each wellness check, we’ll review your pet’s vaccine schedule and ensure their preventive care is up to date.
