Cornerstone of Health

The veterinary wellness exam is the cornerstone of lifelong pet health. At your pet’s wellness appointment, we focus on developing and promoting good health through preventive care, such as vaccinations, deworming, and parasite prevention, as well as monitoring and maintaining health with a thorough physical assessment, detailed history, and screening tests to detect early disease.

At each life stage, your pet receives individualized care and services that address their specific health needs—as well as your questions and concerns.

The wellness exam

The wellness exam is a comprehensive evaluation of your pet’s overall health. From wet nose to wagging tail, our veterinarians look closely at each body system to ensure proper development in growing puppies and kittens and detect abnormalities or early disease signs in adult and senior pets. By detecting and addressing problems in their earliest stage, we can provide more effective and economical treatment, prevent unnecessary suffering, and ultimately add years to your pet’s life.

And, because pet health is more than meets the eye, we’ll ask key questions and offer advice about your pet’s daily life and care, including:

  • Nutrition
  • Physical activity

  • Behavior
  • Travel

  • Parasite prevention

  • Physical activity

Based on your pet’s physical examination findings, age, breed, and lifestyle, our veterinarians will make tailored health recommendations to ensure your pet has a long, healthy, and happy life.

A fluffy golden retriever and a gray cat with a white face gently nuzzle each other on the smooth floor of the veterinarian's office. The cat wears a collar and has a bushy tail, while the dog boasts long, wavy fur. Both appear relaxed and affectionate in this calm setting.

Vaccines

Vaccinations are the safest, most effective way to protect your pet from contagious—often deadly—diseases, including distemper, canine parvovirus, feline panleukopenia, and rabies. Vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize specific pathogens and create antibodies—that way, when your vaccinated pet encounters a disease in their natural environment, the body can automatically defend itself.

Vaccinations not only safeguard your pet, but also protect other pets who may be too young or too sick to receive vaccines, as well as people. Several vaccines protect against zoonotic diseases (i.e., diseases that can be transmitted from animals to people, including the deadly rabies virus).

As part of Neighborhood Veterinary Centers’ commitment to personalized care, each pet receives an individualized vaccine protocol based on their age, health, exposure risks, and lifestyle. This ensures each pet and population is appropriately protected.
