Guided by the American Animal Hospital Association’s recommendation, we advocate for annual pet wellness exams, increasing the frequency as your pet grows older.

Visit our West Kelowna Animal Hospital for comprehensive pet wellness care, including dog wellness exams, cat wellness exams, and preventive care for pets.
Why Are Pet Wellness Exams Important?
Pet wellness exams allow us to evaluate the overall health of your pet, providing a baseline for their unique bodies and tendencies. These exams detect potential problems before they become serious and help make your pet more familiar with our West Kelowna Animal Hospital, ensuring smoother future visits. Regular pet wellness exams are essential for preventive care and maintaining your pet’s health.
When Should My Pet Visit the Vet?
Preventative medicine is the best approach to keeping your furry friend healthy. This includes annual wellness examinations, vaccinations, external and internal parasite prevention, and dietary management. Regular visits to our West Kelowna Veterinary team ensure that your pet receives comprehensive preventative care tailored to their needs.
How Do Wellness Exams Work?
Our veterinary team at West Kelowna Animal Hospital starts by taking your pet’s vital signs before performing a comprehensive examination from nose to tail. Diagnostic tests such as blood work, urinalysis, or intestinal parasite tests may also be conducted. Depending on your pet’s life stage, vaccines may be administered, along with disease screenings for heartworm, kidney, liver, and blood disorders.
Wellness examinations do not mean complicated or costly medical tests and treatments. They allow us to prevent major health issues from developing undetected and give us the opportunity to analyze and record baseline values such as temperature, body condition, and lab work. Measuring these when your pet is healthy enables us to provide better care in the event of illnesses or emergencies.
Early detection and correction of medical problems ensure that your pet will live a long, healthy, and active life. Regular pet wellness exams are crucial for maintaining optimal health and preventing serious conditions.
