Why Annual Checkups Matter More Than You Think

Spot Hidden Problems Early and Keep Your Pet Thriving

At Gardenbrooke Vets, our annual wellness exams are designed to do more than just check your pet’s weight and temperature, they give us a complete picture of their health. During each visit, our veterinarians perform a full physical exam, review diet and lifestyle, and run preventive screenings to catch any hidden issues early. We tailor every exam to your pet’s breed, age, and medical history, ensuring they get exactly what they need to stay active and happy. From heart and dental checks to parasite prevention and vaccinations, we cover every detail so your adult pet can live their best life, every single day.

Prioritizing Regular Exams for Aging Pets

Comprehensive Wellness Care for Early Detection and Lasting Health

Because dogs and cats age much faster than humans, regular wellness exams are the best way to keep them feeling their best at every stage of life. As they grow older, their risk for conditions like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and kidney or liver problems naturally increases, which makes early detection absolutely vital.

During your pet’s visit, our veterinary team will perform a complete nose-to-tail examination, update necessary vaccinations, and review their preventive care routine. We’ll also run diagnostic tests such as bloodwork, fecal, and urine screenings to uncover any hidden issues. To round it off, we may recommend professional dental care, because a healthy mouth plays a big role in your pet’s overall well-being.
