Pet Wellness Care in Asheville, NC
At Partners Animal Hospital Asheville, we understand that while our beloved pets do their best to communicate with us, they’re not able to tell us when something’s wrong. That's where pet wellness care comes in. Scheduling a yearly wellness visit for your pet allows us to catch any unusual changes early on, spot signs of diseases before they become more serious, and offer tailored preventative advice to support your pet’s health.
Wellness care at our hospital includes a comprehensive health history review, a detailed physical examination, and blood tests to give us a full picture of your pet's health status. This helps us craft a personalized care plan to improve and maintain your companion's health for the foreseeable future.
What Happens During a Wellness Visit?
A wellness visit at Partners Animal Hospital Asheville is comprehensive, aimed at evaluating your pet’s health from various angles and providing necessary treatments to keep them healthy and prevent illnesses.
Here’s what you can expect during a visit:
- A thorough physical examination to look for any abnormalities and assess heart rate, breathing, weight, and temperature.
- A detailed discussion about your pet's diet, behavior, training, parasite prevention, and other care aspects.
- Recommended vaccinations such as rabies and distemper, based on your vet's advice.
- Blood tests and fecal exams to check for parasites like heartworms and other health issues.
- Care for any existing health conditions your pet may have.
Preventative Care for Every Stage of Life
From playful puppies and kittens to dignified senior dogs and cats, every pet's needs change as they grow. At Partners Animal Hospital Asheville, we adjust our wellness care plans to suit these evolving needs.
Puppies and Kittens
These visits are as much about education as they are about care. We’ll familiarize ourselves with your new family member and offer guidance on nutrition, vaccinations, and getting started on parasite preventatives.
Adult Pets
Our goal is to keep your adult pets in excellent shape for as long as possible. During their annual check-ups, we’ll review their health plans, making adjustments as necessary to their vaccinations, diet, or parasite prevention.
Senior Pets
Older pets face more health challenges, which is why we recommend checks every six months. We’re here to manage all kinds of conditions that are common in senior dogs and cats, such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, enhancing your pet's comfort and mobility.
