Puppy Wellness Exams
Puppy wellness exams at Latimer Animal Hospital in Langley, BC establish the foundation for a healthy life. We begin with a comprehensive physical examination and assessment of your puppy’s development, vaccinations, deworming schedule, and parasite prevention needs. We review your puppy’s nutrition and growth rate, discuss spay or neuter timing, and provide guidance on socialization, training, and behavioral development. Multiple visits during the first year allow us to monitor growth, complete the vaccine series, and build a lasting relationship with your puppy and your family.
Kitten Wellness Exams
Kitten wellness exams provide age-appropriate care throughout the first year of your cat’s life. We assess physical development, administer core and lifestyle vaccines on schedule, screen for intestinal parasites, and discuss feline leukemia testing when indicated. We review litter box setup, indoor enrichment, dental care, and spay or neuter timing at each visit. Kitten exams also give you an opportunity to ask questions about feeding, behavior, and introducing your kitten to a new home environment. Early veterinary visits establish positive associations that benefit your cat for life.
Adult Pet Wellness Exams
Adult dogs and cats benefit from annual physical examinations that monitor ongoing health and catch subtle changes before they develop into significant concerns. At each adult wellness exam, we assess the heart, lungs, eyes, ears, dental health, skin, coat, joints, and body weight. We review vaccination and parasite prevention status and recommend bloodwork and urinalysis to establish baselines and screen for early disease. Behavioral changes, weight shifts, and lifestyle adjustments are all addressed during the exam. Annual wellness visits are the most effective tool for extending the healthy years of your adult pet’s life.
Senior Pet Wellness Exams
Pets aged seven years and older benefit from wellness exams every six months, as age-related conditions develop more quickly and respond better to early intervention. Our senior wellness exams include a thorough physical assessment with attention to signs of arthritis, dental disease, organ function changes, and cognitive shifts. We recommend comprehensive bloodwork, urinalysis, and blood pressure monitoring for senior patients, along with targeted discussions about nutrition, joint support, pain management, and quality of life. Proactive senior care helps your aging companion stay comfortable, active, and engaged for as long as possible.
FAQs
Puppies typically need three to four wellness visits during their first year, timed around the vaccine schedule at 8, 12, and 16 weeks, with a follow-up visit at around 6 months for spay or neuter and final health assessment. After the first year, annual wellness exams are recommended. We will schedule your puppy’s visits at their first appointment.
Senior wellness exams at Latimer Animal Hospital include a thorough nose-to-tail physical assessment, blood pressure monitoring, comprehensive bloodwork and urinalysis, dental evaluation, joint assessment, and a review of nutrition, medications, and quality of life. For pets over ten years, we may recommend additional screening based on breed and health history. Biannual senior exams allow us to catch changes between annual visits.
We recommend scheduling separate appointments for each pet to ensure each one receives a complete, unhurried examination and appropriate attention. Back-to-back appointments on the same day are an option if you prefer to combine trips. Call us at (236) 473-0375 and we will find the right scheduling solution for your household.
Yes. Many conditions affecting cats develop gradually and produce few or no obvious signs until they are well advanced. Annual exams allow us to detect changes in weight, dental health, kidney function, and other parameters before symptoms appear. Cats are particularly skilled at hiding discomfort, making regular professional evaluation essential even for pets that appear outwardly healthy.
