What's Included in Your Pet's Wellness Visit?

A wellness exam is more than a quick once-over to verify your pet is healthy enough for vaccines. Instead, it’s a complete evaluation of your pet’s health from nose to tail. Our AAHA-accredited animal hospital uses a proactive approach, combining hands-on assessment with advanced diagnostic tools to provide the most accurate insight into your pet’s well-being.

During your pet’s wellness visit, we may include:

  • Comprehensive physical exam to evaluate eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, joints, and more

  • Vaccinations based on your pet’s lifestyle, environment, and risk factors

  • Parasite prevention for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites

  • Nutrition and weight management counseling to maintain a healthy body condition

  • Bloodwork and lab testing to detect early signs of disease

  • Dental evaluation to assess oral health and identify issues before they worsen

  • Behavioral guidance for training, anxiety, or age-related changes

Each visit is customized to your pet’s age, species, and health status, whether they’re an energetic kitten or puppy, an active adult, or a cherished senior companion.

How Often Should Pets Have Wellness Exams?

Regular wellness care helps prevent illness, reduce long-term medical costs, and extend your pet’s quality of life. How often your pet needs a visit depends on their age and health status:

Puppies & Kittens

Young pets need to be seen every 3–4 weeks until they complete their initial vaccination series and reach about 16 weeks of age.

Adult Pets

Healthy adults should receive annual exams to update vaccines, check weight, and monitor for changes.

Senior Pets

Senior pets need to be examined every 6 months, since older pets are more prone to developing conditions that benefit from early detection.

Our veterinarians in Garden Grove will guide you on the right schedule and recommend lifestyle-specific care, especially if your pet travels, visits groomers or daycares, or lives in an area with higher parasite exposure.

Preventive Care with Purpose

Wellness exams help strengthen the bond between you, your pet, and your veterinary team. With a shared understanding of your pet’s health, behavior, and lifestyle, we can make proactive choices that keep them feeling their best year after year.
