Wellness Exams/Checkups
Wellness Exams and Checkups
.
Wellness exams are recommended every six to twelve months, with more frequent visits suggested for young and elderly animals. Regular checkups are crucial opportunities for your veterinarian to screen for common health problems before your pet starts showing outward signs of illness and are an important part of preventative health..
In your checkup, the vet will examine your animal from head to toe and be on the lookout for any abnormalities or health issues, including heart trouble, masses and dental disease. Please be prepared to answer questions about your animal’s daily routine, feeding times and bathroom habits and let us know if you’ve noticed anything out of the ordinary. If this is your first time to Arlington Animal Clinic, we ask that you take a few minutes to fill out the New Patient Form so we can make your visit as efficient and productive as possible.

The vet will also make sure your animal received any necessary vaccinations so he or she is protected from potentially fatal pathogens and diseases.
