Keep Your Pet Healthy By Scheduling Annual Wellness Checkups
Countryside Veterinary Clinic advocates annual wellness examinations for all dogs and cats. Please call our office and our helpful receptionists will schedule an appointment that meets your needs. You may also schedule a wellness exam through our pet portal here. Please bring all medical records, laboratory results and a fecal sample, if possible.
What Happens During My Pet’s Annual Wellness Exam?
A complete history will be collected including past and present medical, surgical, dental, behavioral, and nutritional procedures or concerns. A head-to-tail comprehensive physical exam will be performed. The temperature, pulse, respiration, weight, body condition score, dental score, and microchip data will be recorded.
Vaccinations will be recommended and administered according to your pet’s lifestyle and needs. Blood work for heartworm testing, early detection profiles, and fecal samples for intestinal parasites will be collected. Heartworm preventive, flea and tick control, and intestinal parasite treatment are recommended for all dogs in Maryland. Feline patients may also require heartworm preventive, flea and tick control, and fecal testing.
Your pet’s health will be discussed and diagnostic and treatment plans will be designed for any medical, surgical, dental, behavioral, or nutritional conditions including ocular or ear disease, periodontal disease, cardiac disease, dermatological cases, weight gain or weight loss, change in appetite or water consumption, arthritic or lameness problems, etc.
