Pet Wellness Exam
Do you want to make sure that your pet is healthy?
Of course you do! Cats and dogs should have a wellness exam with a veterinarian every year. Our friendly and experienced team provides personalized care to every pet that walks through our doors for their yearly check-up in Dunlap, TN.
Yearly Visits to the Vet
Just like people, pets need check-ups to make sure they are in good health. During your pet’s annual pet wellness exam, our veterinarians take a thorough look at your pet’s overall health. These vet exams identify potential health issues, prevent disease, and make sure that your four-legged friend is feeling their best.
Wellness exams are also the perfect opportunity to update vaccinations, get a microchip for safety, or run diagnostics like blood work. Our team can also provide advice on nutrition, behavior, and any other concerns you might have. Please know you can always ask us any questions that you have about your cat or dog while you are here with us.
Parasite Preventatives: Stop Fleas, Ticks, and Heartworm Disease
One of the most common threats to the health of pets in the Dunlap area is parasites like fleas, ticks, and internal worms such as heartworms. Our veterinarians at Coops Creek Veterinary Clinic recommend year-round preventative treatments to keep your pet safe. Parasites can lead to serious health complications if not addressed, so we focus on prevention to avoid bigger problems down the road.
In addition to providing top-quality preventatives, we perform testing for parasites. Heartworm testing, an intestinal parasite exam (fecal), and a tick-borne disease blood test (for dogs) are suggested annually. If you find signs of parasites like fleas, ticks, or worms on your pet, call us right away so that we can help.
FAQS for Cat and Dog Check-ups
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
We recommend that all pets, regardless of age or breed, visit us for a pet wellness exam at least once a year. For senior pets or those with chronic health conditions, we suggest bringing them to us more frequently. Puppies and kittens will also need multiple visits during their first year.
What vaccinations will my pet need during their wellness exam?
The vaccinations your pet requires will depend on their age, breed, and lifestyle. To learn more about common vaccines, please visit our Vaccine page.
Does my indoor cat really need parasite protection?
Parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms can pose a risk all year, even to indoor pets. These critters can easily be brought inside by other animals or even people. Year-round preventatives protect your pet from potentially life-threatening diseases caused by these parasites.
What should I bring to my pet’s first wellness exam at Coops Creek?
It’s helpful to bring any records of your pet’s medical history, including vaccination records. Don’t have your pet’s medical records? Give our friendly receptionists the name and location of your previous veterinary clinic, and we would be happy to request the records on your behalf. If your pet is on any medication, please bring that information as well. We also suggest bringing a recent fecal sample for annual parasite testing.
