Detailed Overview of Wellness Care for Pets

Regardless of age or health condition, preventative pet care lays the foundation for quality vet care and screens your pet’s overall health to determine if advanced vet care is needed.

At Sploot’s pet wellness clinics, we offer a wide range of preventative care services, catering to puppies and kittens, adult pets, and senior pets.

Recommended schedule: young and adult pets - yearly; older pets - bi-yearly

Ensure that your pet is at their healthiest and happiest with routine check-ups! Routine check-ups for pets are also known as dog wellness checks or cat wellness exams.

These exams generally include:

  • A comprehensive snout-to-tail physical exam
  • A discussion about the dog’s or cat’s nutrition, behaviors, exercise, and any existing health conditions
  • Lab work: blood work, urinalysis, fecalysis, x-ray (done at Sploot’s in-house lab)

After getting a cat or dog wellness check, you will get a comprehensive understanding of your pet’s overall health and needs.

Recommended schedule: following the cat or dog vaccine schedule for initial vaccination (puppies & kittens); can be incorporated into wellness exams for vaccine updates (adult pets)

Strengthen your pet’s immune system and abide by regional ordinances by maintaining updated pet vaccinations. 

Core vaccinations are recommended for all dogs or cats while non-core vaccinations are recommended by veterinarians based on lifestyle, travel plans, area of residence, and other specific factors.

Important Note: Certain feline diseases that are preventable with vaccines are lifelong if the kitten contracts them. Furthermore, puppies and kittens have developing immune systems, making them vulnerable to various pathogens. We encourage timely initial vaccination for all pets.

Recommended schedule: as needed or incorporated into the dog or cat wellness exam

Parasites, whether internal or external, burden a pet’s health — the good news is that preventive veterinary medicine keeps parasites at bay!

Our vets will provide preventive measures that will keep your pet free of external parasites like ticks and fleas which can cause itching, tick-borne diseases (e.g. Lyme disease), flea-borne tapeworm, and flea allergies.

Our pet wellness clinic also gives guidance on internal parasite prevention, matching your dog or cat to the best-suited preventative for intestinal worms and mosquito-borne heartworms.

Recommended schedule: yearly for young and adult pets; bi-yearly for older pets; OR as needed

Ensure your pet's well-being and quality of life with regular pet dental care. This procedure offers more than just bright smiles and fresher breath, it also helps prevent dental issues in dogs and cats that can cause pain, discomfort, or loss of teeth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long do canine or feline wellness exams take? 

Typically, feline wellness exams and dog wellness checks take around 20 to 30 minutes. However, this could extend if there are specific health concerns that need attention or if your pet would need additional screening tests. 

What factors influence the cost of pet wellness services?

The total cost of services in Sploot’s pet wellness clinic can vary significantly based on these factors:

  • The types of preventive care services needed during the visit (e.g. vaccination updates, dental care) 
  • If a serious or chronic health or dental issue is uncovered and additional treatment or advanced vet care is obtained during the same visit

Rest assured, our vets are here to give transparent and compassionate guidance, working with pet parents to make informed decisions for their pet’s well-being.

Why do some wellness exams include X-rays and laboratory?

Additional screenings like x-rays and laboratory tests are generally done only if needed. These tests are commonly recommended for pets with health conditions, pets with recently reported symptoms, and senior pets. These tests, when recommended by a vet, allow our team to best deliver quality or advanced vet care.

Can wellness exams and vaccinations be done on the same visit?

Wellness exams and vaccination/revaccination can be done on the same day in our pet wellness clinic.
