Wellness Check-Ups &
Preventive Care

Southeast Oakville icon

Regular check-ups are essential to ensuring that your pets live their best life. They’re an opportunity to see that appropriate vaccinations are up to date, that they’re covered for fleas, ticks, and heartworm, and that they aren’t harboring any unwelcome guests in their gastrointestinal tracts. A full physical exam, bloodwork, and a fecal (poop) test are all part of that process.

We’re all about staying ahead of the curve at SOVH, and that couldn’t be truer when it comes to preventing health issues either before they happen or before they become more difficult and costly to treat. During these visits, we’re on high alert for things like unexplained weight loss (or weight gain), lumps and bumps, dental disease, mobility issues, and the like. We’re interested less in what’s trending on Twitter and more in what’s trending in your pets’ bloodwork. Annual bloodwork allows us to see what’s coming (kidney disease? a thyroid problem? other?) and if necessary, get on top of it.
