In veterinary care, prevention is the best medicine, and we at Tender Care Animal Hospital emphasize personalized pet wellness exams to prevent issues and keep your pets healthy by default.

What to Expect
During a Pet Wellness Exam
A pet wellness exam primarily involves a complete physical assessment of your pet’s overall health to understand their individual needs. At Tender Care, these exams include:
- Nose-to-tail physical evaluation
- Weight and body condition scoring
- Heart, lung, and abdominal checks
- Eye, ear, skin, and coat inspection
- Dental and gum health assessment
- Vaccination review and updates
- Parasite prevention and control
- Nutrition and lifestyle counseling
- Lab work (as recommended by age and health status)
We use age-specific wellness plans and incorporate diagnostics such as bloodwork and fecal testing when needed. Our on-site lab and digital imaging equipment help us deliver fast, accurate results, supporting timely treatment if concerns arise.
Why Regular Pet Checkups Matter
Routine pet checkups are a vital part of preventative care. Pets age faster than humans, and even subtle changes in health can signal underlying issues. Because pets often hide pain or illness, wellness exams allow our veterinarians to detect problems early, before they become harder and more costly to treat.
The Benefits of
Pet Wellness Exams
Choosing regular wellness exams for your pet offers a variety of lifelong benefits:
- Early Detection: Routine exams help us to identify potential issues before symptoms become severe.
