What is included in pet wellness and preventative care?
Pet wellness and preventative care at VetCare Woodlea may include a physical exam, health history review, vaccination guidance, parasite prevention, nutrition advice, weight monitoring, and age-appropriate recommendations. These visits help our veterinarians support dogs and cats with care tailored to their lifestyle, life stage, and medical needs.
How often should my dog or cat have a wellness exam?
Most healthy adult dogs and cats benefit from a wellness exam at least once a year. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with ongoing health concerns may need more frequent visits. At VetCare Woodlea, our team can recommend a schedule based on your pet’s age, risks, and overall health.
Why is preventative care important if my pet seems healthy?
Preventative care is important because many health changes are easier to manage when found early. Even if your dog or cat seems healthy at home, a veterinary exam can reveal changes in weight, teeth, skin, mobility, or internal health that may need attention before symptoms become obvious.
Does wellness care include parasite prevention?
Yes, wellness care often includes parasite prevention guidance for fleas, ticks, worms, and other risks that may affect dogs and cats. VetCare Woodlea can recommend parasite protection based on your pet’s lifestyle, age, exposure risk, and any health considerations discussed during the visit.
When should I schedule a preventative care visit?
You should schedule a preventative care visit if your pet is due for an exam, needs vaccines, requires parasite prevention, is new to your family, or is entering a new life stage. It is also helpful to book if you notice changes in weight, appetite, energy, behavior, or mobility.
What to Expect at a Wellness Visit
During a wellness visit, our veterinarians review your pet’s health history, perform a physical exam, discuss any concerns, and recommend preventive care based on your pet’s needs. These appointments are also a helpful time to ask questions about diet, behaviour, parasite protection, and routine health planning.
When Wellness Care Helps Most
Routine care supports healthier pets through every age and stage.
Preventative care is helpful for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and senior companions. Regular visits help your veterinary team track changes over time, support early detection, and guide recommendations for nutrition, vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental health, weight, and general wellbeing.
Life Stage Care
Puppies, kittens, adults, and seniors each need different preventive support.
