We recommend yearly wellness examinations for young pets and biannually for seniors ones, however your veterinarian will suggest the best timeframe depending on their health history.
During your wellness examination, a Pet Point veterinarian will check your pet from nose-to-tail on the following areas:
✔ The way your pet walks and stands.
✔ Your pet’s general body condition, weight, and muscle mass.
✔ Excessive hair loss, oiliness, dryness, or dandruff on the haircoat and skin.
✔ Signs of any lumps or bumps on the body, eyes, and ears.
✔ Redness, discharge, clouding, or excessive tearing in the eyes.
✔ Discharge, thickening, or skin irritation in the ears using an Otoscope.
✔ Signs of abnormal breathing patterns or issues with nostrils, face folds, etc.
✔ Excessive salivation, tartar build-up, periodontal disease, broken teeth, or ulcers in or around the mouth.
✔ Paws and toenails.
✔ The pulse, lymph nodes, and organs like the bladder, kidneys, intestines, and stomach.
