Pet Wellness Exams
At Kehoe Animal Clinic of Viera, we provide thorough, compassionate pet checkups that help prevent illness, detect health issues early, and ensure your dog or cat receives personalized care.
What Are Pet Wellness Exams?
Regular pet wellness exams are the cornerstone of a happy, healthy life for your furry family members. These comprehensive health checkups evaluate your pet’s overall well-being through a full physical examination, review of medical history, vaccinations, and preventive screenings. Our veterinarians use this time to look for subtle changes in your pet’s health, answer your questions, and provide recommendations tailored to their age, breed, and lifestyle.
At Kehoe Animal Clinic of Viera, wellness exams aren’t just routine—they’re a chance to strengthen the bond between our veterinary team and your family, ensuring continuity of care throughout your pet’s life.
What to Expect During a Pet Checkup
When you bring your pet for a wellness exam, you can expect a caring, detailed approach that puts your pet’s comfort first. A typical pet checkup includes:
- Comprehensive physical exam to evaluate eyes, ears, teeth, skin, joints, heart, and lungs
- Vaccination review to ensure your pet is protected against preventable diseases
- Parasite prevention, including guidance on flea, tick, and heartworm protection
- Nutritional counseling and advice tailored to your pet’s diet, weight, and lifestyle needs
- Laboratory testing as needed, such as bloodwork, urinalysis, or fecal exams, for a deeper look at internal health
- Discussion and Q&A to give you a space to ask questions about behavior, exercise, or any concerns you have
We also create individualized care plans, especially for puppies, kittens, and senior pets, who have unique health requirements. Serving families across Melbourne, Viera, Rockledge, Palm Bay, and Central Florida, our team is committed to keeping tails wagging and pets thriving.
Why Pet Wellness Exams Are Important
Routine wellness care is one of the best investments you can make in your pet’s health. Skipping routine exams can allow silent diseases to progress, leading to more serious problems down the road. Preventive care keeps pets healthier and helps families avoid unexpected emergencies. Annual or semi-annual pet checkups allow us to:
Early Detection
Detect conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or arthritis in the earliest, most treatable stages
Preventive Care
Prevent painful and costly issues through proactive care
Vaccine Protection
Update vaccines to protect against contagious diseases
Complete Care
Support your pet’s quality of life with nutrition, pain management, and behavioral advice
