Helping your pet live a healthy life isn’t just about treating illness—it’s about preventing it. At All Pets Veterinary Hospital, we believe routine wellness care is the key to helping dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and all manner of small mammals thrive at every stage of life. Regular checkups allow us to catch small changes before they become big problems, ensuring your pet stays active, comfortable, and by your side for years to come.

Because pets—especially exotic pets—age faster than people, their health can change in just a few months. That’s why consistent wellness exams and preventive screenings are essential for detecting potential issues early, before they affect your pet’s quality of life.

What Happens During a Pet Wellness Exam?

During your pet’s checkup, our veterinarians perform a nose-to-tail assessment to evaluate their overall health. We take the time to discuss any concerns you may have and look for subtle signs of illness that could be easily missed at home.

Here’s what we typically check during a wellness exam:

  • Weight & Body Condition: Sudden weight gain or loss can be a sign of metabolic disorders, thyroid disease, or other hidden conditions.
  • Dental Health: We check for tartar buildup, gum disease, or fractured teeth that may require professional cleaning or treatment.
  • Ears & Eyes: Infections, cataracts, or ear mites can cause chronic discomfort or serious health concerns if left untreated.
  • Skin & Coat Health: Dry skin, excessive shedding, or lumps could indicate allergies, infections, or underlying medical issues.
  • Joints & Mobility: Stiffness, limping, or difficulty getting up can be early signs of arthritis or other orthopedic concerns.
  • Heart & Lungs: Listening for irregular heartbeats, murmurs, or respiratory issues helps us identify potential cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions.
  • Internal Organ Function: Bloodwork and urine tests help us assess kidney function, liver health, and metabolic balance.

Proactive Health Management

Wellness care isn’t just about preventing disease—it’s also about optimizing your pet’s overall well-being. Our team provides personalized recommendations to support every stage of your pet’s life, including:

Nutrition & Weight Management

A balanced diet is imperative for maintaining a healthy weight and preventing obesity-related conditions, such as arthritis, heart disease, and a shortened lifespan. We offer tailored dietary guidance to support your pet’s needs.

Dental Care

Poor oral health can lead to infections, pain, and systemic health issues. We’ll assess your pet’s dental health and recommend professional cleanings when needed.

Joint & Mobility Support

Large breeds, senior pets, and active animals may benefit from joint supplements, physical therapy, or weight management strategies to keep them comfortable and mobile.

Parasite Prevention

Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites can cause serious illness. We’ll recommend year-round preventives and regular parasitic disease testing to protect your pet and your family.

Behavioral Health

Anxiety, stress, or behavioral changes can indicate underlying health concerns. We’ll work with you to address these issues and improve your pet’s quality of life.

Exotic Pet Wellness Care

Pets outside the "standard" cats and dogs also need regular wellness care to keep them in tip-top shape. Exotic pets—including birds, reptiles, and small mammals—have unique healthcare needs that require specialized veterinary expertise, and our team is happy to provide comprehensive preventive care for these unusual species!

Tech Holding Guinea Pig

Our exotic pet wellness services focus on:

  • Birds: We assess your bird's beak, nails, and feathers, offer nutritional counseling, and screen their respiratory health.
  • Reptiles: Habitat evaluations, metabolic bone disease prevention, and parasite screenings keep your scaly friend happy and healthy.
  • Small Mammals: Dental care for rabbits and guinea pigs, weight management, and routine bloodwork are important for small mammals' well-being.

Because exotic pets often hide illness until it becomes severe, annual checkups are essential for early disease detection and long-term health. If your exotic pet is due for a wellness visit, we’re here to help!

Wellness care is one of the best ways to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy for years to come. Regular checkups give us the chance to monitor changes, catch problems early, and keep your pet feeling their best.
