A Wellcare Plan for Your Pet

We know that you care deeply for your pet and want to know how best to optimize your pet’s quality of life and the longevity of your relationship.

Investing in a wellness exam provides your Veterinarian the chance to evaluate your pet’s overall health and detect a problem before it turns into a serious illness. Your pet can’t tell you in words how he is feeling, so the Veterinarian relies on a thorough physical examination to determine if your pet is truly healthy. An important part of a well care visit will likely include a routine blood testing, urinalysis, possible radiographs. During a well care exam, your Veterinarian will ask you a variety of questions. Clients are asked to mention any unusual behavior, including:

Excessive urination
Excessive drinking of water
Excessive panting
Eating much more than usual or eating less than usual
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Excessive scratching
Coughing
Weight gain
Difficulty walking or running
Difficulty getting up in the morning

At IVS we strongly recommend an annual visit for all pets under the age of 5 years. For pets aged from 5 years to 7 years, IVS recommends a Senior Care Wellness exam every 6 months.
