Early diagnosis of problems during pet wellness exams for Loveland pets can help them live a long, happy life. Wellness exams also give us an opportunity to tailor preventative treatments to each individual animal. For example, as your pet ages, we may recommend adding bloodwork in with your pet’s routine wellness exam to ensure their organs continue to function properly into their senior years. We also recommend annual heartworm and fecal tests.
During pet wellness exams at our veterinary hospital, you are also given the opportunity to consult with us about your pet’s lifestyle, including nutritional counseling, behavioral changes, and more. We appreciate this time to get to know both you and your pet so that when medical challenges arise, we can provide the most thoughtful care and treatment possible!
