Wellness Care and Checkups from Our Veterinarian Near You
At Bixby Animal Specialty & Emergency, we share your interest in the health and wellness of your pet. Our comprehensive wellness care services can contribute to your pet's long-term health. Pet wellness exams are a vital part of your pet's wellness care. A wellness exam can alert our veterinarian to health issues early on, keeping them from becoming major problems later on. This way, we can preserve your pet's health and happiness over the long haul.
The Importance of Pet Wellness Exams
Pets, like people, need consistent medical care to stay in the best of health. Through annual exams, your pet can receive preventive treatments like parasite control and vaccinations to avoid sickness and disease. Routine diagnostics like X-rays and blood work are also part of wellness care as they help us detect and diagnose hidden medical issues.
Wellness exams consist of a physical nose-to-tail inspection of your pet to uncover signs of health issues. We'll also ask you about unusual behavior or symptoms your pets may be experiencing so we can follow up on these issues. We'll review your pets’ medical history and discuss their lifestyle, diet, behavior, and other aspects of their life to see if there are areas that need improvement. As your pets age, you may notice problems like excessive weight gain, lethargy, or mobility difficulties. Changes in your pets’ lifestyle and/or diet can often prevent problems with pet obesity, diabetes, and arthritis.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations play a vital role in wellness care as they protect your furry friend from deadly diseases like rabies, distemper, and others. All pets are susceptible to disease, whether they’re indoor or outdoor animals. We’ll ensure your pet’s vaccines are updated so they can retain the disease protection they need to live a long and healthy life.
Senior Pet Care
Senior pets face many challenges with their health due to having a weaker immune system. Our senior pet care services will help your pets manage these challenges so they can continue to live a high quality of life. Your pets may need to see our vet every 6 months instead of annually, so we can stay on top of their health.
