Wellness Checks
Wellness Checks at Mercury Street Veterinary Hospital
At Mercury Street Veterinary Hospital we believe that to keep your pet happy and healthy, it is important that you visit your vet for routine checkups and vaccinations. The frequency of your visits will depend on a few things: Breed, lifestyle, age and existing conditions. Puppies and Kittens, for example, should be seen initially once a month in their first four months for vaccinations, where as a healthy adult pet may only need to have an annual check-up.
Puppy and Kitten Exams
Start off on the right foot, err, Paw! Whether it is your first fur-baby or if it is a new addition to your brood, a new puppy or kitten is always exciting and sometimes stressful. That is why we are here. We will make sure that your little one is happy and healthy as well as make sure that all of their vaccinations are up to date.
Wellness Exams
Pets can’t tell you when they’re feeling sick, so regular wellness checkups are very important. Our vets will perform a full nose-to-tail exam in order to check your pet’s condition. Our vets will also ask you questions about your pet, including diet, activity levels, weight changes, food intake and behavioural changes. Depending on your pet’s condition our vet may want to perform diagnostic tests and administer vaccinations. Preventive care ultimately helps your pet live a longer, happier life.
In addition to vaccines and routine exams, preventive care can also consist of:
- Blood-work
- Flea, tick and heart-worm prevention
- Microchipping
- Diet planning
- Faecal tests
- Dental care
Senior Wellness Exams
Getting old can be ruff for your fur-babies and regular check-ups can help with keeping them happy and healthy in their golden years. Pets in their senior years begin to go through a gradual reduction of their physical capabilities. However, with regular check-ups you can slow this process down and make sure they are happy and healthy.
