Pet Wellness Exams

Routine wellness exams are one of the most important parts of preventive veterinary care. Many health conditions develop gradually, and pets often hide signs of illness until problems become more advanced.

During your pet’s exam, our veterinarians will evaluate overall health, weight, body condition, heart and lung function, skin and coat quality, dental health, mobility, and more. These visits also give you an opportunity to discuss any questions about behavior, nutrition, or changes you’ve noticed at home.

Annual wellness exams are recommended for most adult pets, while puppies, kittens, and senior pets may benefit from more frequent visits.

Vaccines help protect dogs and cats from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Our veterinary team develops vaccination recommendations based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.

Common dog vaccines include:

Rabies

Distemper

Parvovirus

Leptospirosis

Bordetella

Common cat vaccines include:

Rabies

FVRCP

Feline leukemia virus when appropriate

No two pets are exactly alike. We take time to discuss your pet’s daily routine and recommend a vaccination schedule that fits their needs.

Puppy & Kitten Care

The first year of your pet’s life is full of growth, learning, and important milestones. Regular veterinary visits help establish a strong foundation for lifelong health.

Your puppy or kitten’s early care typically covers:

Physical examinations

Vaccine series

Parasite testing and prevention

Nutritional guidance

Growth monitoring

Behavioral recommendations

New pet owners often have plenty of questions, and that’s a good thing! Our team is happy to provide practical guidance as your newest family member settles into their new home.

Senior Pet Care

As pets age, their healthcare needs change. Senior wellness visits help us monitor for age-related conditions and maintain your pet’s quality of life.

Senior pet care may include:

Comprehensive physical exams

Diagnostic bloodwork

Arthritis and mobility evaluations

Weight management support

Monitoring for chronic conditions

Subtle changes such as increased thirst, weight loss, reduced activity, or changes in appetite can sometimes signal underlying medical concerns. Regular exams allow our veterinary team to identify these changes early.

Parasite Prevention

That tiny tick you barely notice can cause big problems.

Year-round parasite prevention helps protect your pet from fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. Connecticut’s tick population remains active throughout much of the year, making preventive care especially important for local pets.

Our team can recommend safe, effective parasite prevention products based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wellness & Preventive Care

Most adult dogs and cats should have a wellness exam once a year. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with ongoing health conditions may benefit from more frequent visits.

Vaccine recommendations vary based on age, lifestyle, health history, and risk factors. Our veterinarians will create a vaccination plan tailored to your pet.

Most puppies and kittens should have their first veterinary visit shortly after coming home, typically around 6 to 8 weeks of age.

Many dogs and cats are considered seniors around 7 years of age, although this varies by breed and size. Senior pets often benefit from additional monitoring and screening.

Many medical conditions show few visible signs during their early stages. Routine wellness visits help identify potential concerns before they become more serious.
