Wellness and Preventative Care in Marietta

Your pet ages faster than you do, which means their health can change rapidly. Annual or semi-annual wellness exams give us the opportunity to track changes in your pet’s health over time. During these visits, we perform a thorough physical examination, checking your pet from nose to tail. We listen to their heart and lungs, examine their eyes and ears, assess their teeth and gums, palpate their abdomen, and evaluate their joints and mobility.

We also discuss your observations about your pet’s behavior, appetite, energy level, and habits at home. These details help us build a complete picture of your pet’s health. Based on our findings, we may recommend blood work, urinalysis, or other diagnostic tests to screen for conditions that aren’t visible during a physical exam, like diabetes, kidney disease, and thyroid problems. These tests help us detect common health problems during their earliest and most treatment stages, leading to lower costs and better outcomes.
