Annual Pet Checkups

Annual Wellness Checkups

When your pet gets their annual wellness checkup, here’s what you can expect. First, your pet will be checked over 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 motility 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 in order 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 toward ensuring 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

FAQs About Wellness Care/Checkups

You should start scheduling wellness exams as soon as your pet becomes part of your family. Puppies and kittens typically need their first exam around 6 to 8 weeks of age to begin vaccinations and health checks. Early visits help your vet identify any birth-related or developmental issues before they become serious. These appointments also set the foundation for a long-term preventive care plan tailored to your pet’s breed and lifestyle. Starting early ensures your pet gets the best start toward a healthy, happy life.
When coming for a wellness visit, it’s helpful to bring any previous medical records, vaccination history, and a list of your pet’s current medications or supplements. If your pet has been eating a specific diet or showing any changes in appetite, behavior, or energy, make note of those details too. For new pets, include adoption papers or breeder information. Bringing a stool sample can also help the vet screen for parasites. These small steps make the exam smoother and more productive.
A standard pet wellness exam usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. This includes time for a full physical checkup, discussion about diet, exercise, and behavior, and any necessary vaccinations or preventive treatments. If additional tests like bloodwork or parasite screening are needed, the visit may take a little longer. Vets also use this time to answer your questions and provide personalized recommendations. Regular visits like these help ensure your pet stays healthy all year long.
Even if your pet looks perfectly healthy, regular vet visits are key to catching hidden health issues early. Many diseases, such as dental infections, heart problems, or diabetes, develop slowly and may not show obvious signs at first. Routine exams allow your vet to track your pet’s weight, organ function, and overall wellness over time. Early detection means easier treatment, lower costs, and a better quality of life. Think of wellness visits as preventive care rather than reactive care.
