If you need a veterinarian near you for pet care, we at Hamlin Veterinary Clinic, serving Hamlin, PA, and Lake Ariel, PA, offer pet exam services and other care. Read on to learn what to expect during these visits and why they’re so important for your beloved pets:
Why Does My Pet Need a Routine Pet Exam?
It’s not always easy to tell if your pet has a health issue. The good news is a wellness check can help the vet find early signs of problems that may need to be treated or monitored. These exams also offer a chance to:
● Bring up any concerns you have about your pet’s health or behavior
● Receive guidance on feeding your pet
● Bring your pet up-to-date on vaccines
● Get parasite prevention for your pet
What’s Included in these Visits?
A vet near you might also provide the following during an annual or routine wellness checkup:
● Physical exam to look for signs of health issues
● Vaccinations as needed
● Flea and tick prevention
● Heartworm prevention
● Discussions about your pet’s well-being and lifestyle
● Other tests as needed
We can also include other services if needed, such as a dental exam or microchipping.
How Often Does My Pet Need a Pet Wellness Checkup?
That depends on your pet’s age and condition. Our team will let you know when to bring your pet in for these visits. Senior pets, puppies, and kittens usually need more frequent wellness checks. Pets with underlying or chronic conditions may also need to come in more often, too.
Does My New Pet Need an Exam?
Yes! Whether you have a puppy or kitten — or adopted an adult pet — its a generally a good idea to get him a checkup with a veterinarian near you. During these visits, we may do the following:
● Start a health record for your pet
● Update vaccines as needed
● Ask about his behavior and diet
● Do a physical exam
● Take tests to check for parasites and/or other health issues
