We recommend pet wellness exams be performed annually on all of our adult patients and semi-annually for seniors. Preventative care and early intervention have well-established health benefits. By offering regular wellness visits, your pet’s health trends can be tracked, and we can detect and treat diseases as soon as possible. This allows us to address any minor changes before they become more concerning. During your pet’s routine preventative exam, we will obtain a thorough medical history, listen to and address any concerns, and perform a comprehensive physical examination from nose to tail. When appropriate, we can vaccinate and run screening labwork (including testing for heartworm and tick-borne disease, bloodwork, and intestinal parasite screening tests).
It’s also important to note that even pets who live primarily indoors should be vaccinated, as they can still be exposed to a disease. Your Indian Street veterinarian can advise you which vaccinations are required or recommended for your pet based on age, health, and lifestyle.
