Wellness Care

Highland Pet Hospital wants to provide outstanding, compassionate care for the life of your pet. Just like you should visit your primary care doctor every year, your pet should see their veterinarian each year for a wellness examination- even if your pet appears to be perfectly healthy.

Annual  Wellness Exams

Pets age 4-6 times faster than we do, so it’s important that we see your pet each year. Annual wellness exams help us ensure your pet remains healthy, and any early signs of disease are diagnosed before they become a major problem & expense.

What to Expect

During a wellness exam, we will examine your pet from the tip of their nose to the tip of their tail, looking for any abnormalities that are concerning.

Of course, if your pet looks great, we’ll tell you that, too! Regular wellness exams are essential for maintaining your pet's health and catching potential issues early. We will also take the time to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your pet's overall well-being.

We will pay particular attention to:

• Skin/Coat condition
• Eyes
• Ears
• Teeth
• Respiratory system
• Pulmonary system

Diagnostics

Depending on your pet’s age, we may recommend bloodwork for your pet. Bloodwork is our most valuable diagnostic tool, as it tells us how their internal organs are functioning and if they have heartworms or any other problems. Even if your pet looks great and appears healthy, bloodwork will tell us for sure.
