Pet Wellness Exams are a key component of your pet’s preventative care plan and long-term health. During a Wellness Exam, our veterinarians will complete a head-to-tail physical examination and discuss your pet’s lifestyle, nutrition, and behavior, all in a calm and professional setting.
Note: Our Pet Wellness Exams include a dental assessment, as well as nutritional and behavioral consultations. Typically bundled in a Pet Wellness Exam for an additional cost are: vaccinations, lab work, diagnostic imaging, and microchipping.
By bringing your pet to our trusted Rancho Peñasquitos veterinary clinic, you give them the expert care they need in a calm, professional environment designed for their health, wellness, and comfort.
