Wellness Exams
At Gentle Doctor Animal Hospitals, we believe prevention is the best medicine. Our goal is to keep your pet healthy and thriving—not just treat illness when it arises. That’s why we emphasize the importance of annual physical exams and routine preventive care.
During your pet’s annual visit, our veterinarians perform a full physical exam and screen for parasites.We recommend running fecal samples annually to screen for intestinal parasites, as well as annual heartworm testing. These exams are also a great time to update vaccinations, discuss behavior or diet, and detect early signs of illness—when treatment is often most effective.
We offer trusted, vet-recommended heartworm prevention options and will work with you to find the best plan for your pet.
Protecting your pet starts with a yearly visit—schedule yours today!
