Is It Time for Your Pet’s Annual Wellness Exam?
When was your pet’s last wellness exam? If it’s been over a year, they might be overdue for a checkup. At Express Vets North Canton, annual wellness exams are one of the most effective tools we have for keeping pets healthy. These routine visits help us identify early signs of illness, monitor chronic conditions, and keep your pet up to date on vital preventive care.
Even if your pet seems fine on the outside, health changes can occur gradually and go unnoticed until they become serious. During an annual exam, we evaluate your pet from nose to tail. This includes checking their heart, lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, skin, joints, and more. We’ll also weigh your pet and assess their body condition to monitor for weight changes or muscle loss.
Vaccines are reviewed and updated as needed, based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Flea, tick, and heartworm preventives are discussed and prescribed to ensure continuous protection throughout the year. If your pet needs lab work, we may recommend a wellness blood panel or urinalysis to screen for common conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or thyroid problems.
These exams aren’t just about physical health—they’re also a great time to discuss your pet’s behavior, diet, and daily routine. Is your dog suddenly more tired after walks? Is your cat drinking more water than usual? These subtle changes can signal early stages of health issues, and your input helps us provide better, more personalized care.
For puppies and kittens, wellness exams help ensure they’re growing properly and receiving their full vaccine series. For senior pets, exams become even more important, often shifting to every six months to stay ahead of age-related concerns.
Express Vets North Canton makes annual exams easy, quick, and stress-free. Our transparent pricing and streamlined visits mean you know what to expect—every time. We value your time, your questions, and your partnership in your pet’s health journey.
