Wellness Care

A Happy, Healthy Life for Your Pet Starts Here

You see your doctor regularly, but what about your pet? Routine wellness exams are key to keeping them happy and healthy! These checkups help catch potential issues early and give you a chance to ask your vet any questions about your pet’s care.

At North Haven Animal Hospital, we recommend a full nose-to-tail exam at least once a year—more often for senior pets or those with health concerns. Here’s what to expect during a wellness visit:

Heart & Lungs Check – A stethoscope helps us detect heart murmurs, irregular rhythms, infections, and respiratory issues. Heart health is a big part of your pet’s overall well-being, and regular exams help us catch and manage cardiac conditions before they become serious. Early detection of heart disease allows us to create a treatment plan to manage symptoms and support long-term cardiac health.
Teeth & Oral Health – Dental disease is common in pets, so we check for tartar buildup, broken teeth, and other concerns.
Vision & Ears – Regular eye exams help catch issues like glaucoma, while ear checks can spot infections early.
Skin, Coat & Lymph Nodes – We look for lumps, parasites, skin conditions, and other abnormalities.
Joints & Muscles – Especially in older pets, we check for arthritis, mobility issues, and muscle loss.
Lab Work & Parasite Screening – Blood tests, heartworm screenings, and fecal exams help us catch hidden illnesses and parasites.

A wellness visit is more than just a checkup—it’s a proactive step in your pet’s long-term health. Schedule their next visit today!
