Pet Wellness Exams
Animal Medical Center provides thorough pet wellness exams and routine pet checkups for dogs, cats, exotics, and large animals in Claremore, OK, and throughout Rogers County.
Our experienced team focuses on preventative care and early detection to help your animals stay healthy and comfortable.
What Are Pet Wellness Exams?
Pet wellness exams are routine veterinary visits designed to monitor your pet’s overall health, prevent disease, and catch potential concerns early—before they become more serious. These visits are recommended at least once a year for most pets, and more frequently for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with ongoing health conditions.
To support busy pet owners or pets with mobility issues, we also offer wellness exams in the comfort of your home through our convenient Veterinary House Calls.
What to Expect During Your Pet’s Visit
Our pet wellness exams are comprehensive and designed to give you a clear understanding of your pet’s health.
Complete Physical Examination
We perform a detailed physical exam, checking your pet’s eyes, ears, teeth, skin, coat, joints, and internal systems. This allows us to identify subtle changes that may indicate early health concerns.
Preventative Care & Vaccinations
Vaccinations play a key role in protecting your pet from preventable diseases. We customize vaccination schedules based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.
Parasite Prevention & Testing
We evaluate your pet for parasites such as fleas, ticks, and heartworms and recommend appropriate prevention to keep them protected year-round.
Nutritional & Lifestyle Guidance
Every pet is unique. We provide personalized recommendations for diet, exercise, and daily care to support long-term health and wellness.
Diagnostic Screening
When needed, we may recommend routine bloodwork or additional diagnostics to establish baselines or detect early signs of illness, especially for senior pets.
Why Pet Wellness Exams Matter
Routine pet checkups are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your pet’s health, providing long-term benefits like:
Early Detection of Disease
Many conditions, including kidney disease, diabetes, and arthritis, can be identified earlier through regular exams.
Preventative Care
Vaccinations and parasite prevention reduce the risk of serious illness.
Longer, Healthier Life
Preventative care helps pets live longer and maintain a better quality of life.
Cost Savings Over Time
Catching issues early often means simpler, more affordable treatment.
Wellness exams are especially critical for puppies and kittens to support their developing immune systems. For exotic pets, we provide specialized examinations focusing on each species’ unique health needs. We also offer targeted wellness care for large animals like horses and livestock through both in-clinic care and farm visits for your convenience.
