Keeping Your Pet Healthy Starts Here
Your pet can’t tell you when something feels off. That’s why regular health exams are one of the most important things you can do for them. At DOKO Animal Hospital, our wellness exams are designed to catch problems early, keep your pet protected, and give you peace of mind.
What is a Pet Health Exam?
A general pet health exam is a full check-up for your dog or cat. During the visit, one of our veterinarians looks your pet over from head to tail — checking their eyes, ears, teeth, skin, coat, heart, lungs, abdomen, and joints.
Pets are good at hiding when they don’t feel well. By the time you notice something is wrong, a health issue may have already been going on for a while. Regular check-ups help our vets spot those early warning signs before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems.
Here’s what routine exams can help with:
- Catching health issues early, when they’re easier to treat
- Keeping vaccinations up to date
- Staying on top of flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
- Monitoring your pet’s weight and nutrition
- Spotting dental problems before they cause pain
- Tracking changes in your pet’s health over time
What Happens During the Exam?
When you bring your pet in, our team will make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable. Here’s a quick look at what to expect:
- A full physical check-up — Our vet will look at your pet’s eyes, ears, nose, mouth, skin, coat, and body. They’ll listen to the heart and lungs and feel the belly for anything unusual.
- A talk about your pet’s health history — We’ll ask about your pet’s eating habits, energy levels, bathroom habits, and any changes you’ve noticed at home. You know your pet best, and your input matters.
- Vaccine review — We’ll check which vaccines are due and go over what your pet needs based on their age, lifestyle, and risk level.
- Parasite prevention — We’ll discuss heartworm, fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites and recommend the right prevention plan.
- Your questions, answered — Have concerns about your pet’s weight, behavior, or diet? This is the perfect time to bring them up. We’re here to help.
Keeping Your Pet Healthy at Every Stage of Life
For most healthy adult dogs and cats, once a year is recommended. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, or pets with ongoing health conditions may need to come in more often. Our team will help you figure out the right schedule for your pet.Whether you have a playful new puppy, a laid-back adult cat, or a senior dog slowing down a little, our wellness exams are tailored to what your pet needs right now. As your pet ages, their health needs change — and we’re here to guide you through every stage.
