Comprehensive Wellness Exams
For dogs & cats in
Bowling Green, KY
Every life journey includes bumps in the road, and this is also true for our pets. However, it’s possible to make your pet’s journey easier with routine wellness exams, vaccinations, blood and fecal tests, and parasite prevention. As they grow and experience life, we want to be there to help you support their health and give them as many happy years as possible at your side. The goal of wellness exams, which we recommend at least once a year, is to raise your pet's quality of life and maintain their health for the maximum number of years.
Why Dogs and Cats Need Routine Exams
Dogs and cats age about 5-6 years for every one of ours. In addition, they tend to hide symptoms of illness for as long as they can, making it difficult to resolve the problem before it becomes more severe—and harder to treat. Early detection is the goal of yearly (or twice-yearly) wellness exams, where we can check in on your pet to make sure they’re healthy and run tests to look for subtle changes.
