Pet Wellness Services

Regular wellness exams are the foundation of preventive care. These visits allow our veterinarians to assess your pet’s overall health, monitor changes over time, and address any concerns you may have. Even subtle shifts in behavior, appetite, or activity level can indicate underlying medical conditions, and routine examinations enable us to detect and treat them that much more quickly.

During a wellness exam, we perform a thorough physical assessment, checking for signs of infections, dental disease, lumps, and other concerns that may not be immediately noticeable. Beyond the exam, we provide tailored preventive care recommendations. This may include vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutritional guidance, and diagnostic testing to ensure your pet stays in good health. Preventive care not only helps detect conditions early but also makes treatment more effective and less costly in the long run.

The first year of life is a critical time for development, and young pets need frequent checkups to ensure they are growing properly. Our wellness services for puppies and kittens include comprehensive physical exams, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and parasite screenings. Early veterinary visits also provide an opportunity to discuss behavioral training, proper nutrition, and spaying or neutering.

Since young pets are more vulnerable to illness, a structured vaccination plan is essential to protect them from serious diseases. Our veterinarians will customize a schedule based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

As pets age, their healthcare needs change. Senior pets are more prone to chronic conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, and heart problems. Routine checkups have become even more important in detecting age-related illnesses early. Our senior wellness exams include bloodwork, mobility assessments, and dietary recommendations to help maintain your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

We also provide guidance on managing common senior pet concerns, such as changes in activity levels, cognitive decline, and pain management options. With proper care, older pets can enjoy their golden years with improved vitality and well-being.

Vaccinations are crucial to preventive care, protecting pets from highly contagious and potentially life-threatening diseases. At Native Palm Animal Hospital, we follow veterinary guidelines to provide core and lifestyle-based vaccines tailored to each pet. Dogs may require protection against diseases such as rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, while cats benefit from vaccinations against feline leukemia and respiratory infections.

Routine screenings for parasites, including heartworms, fleas, and ticks, also play a key role in disease prevention. Florida’s warm climate makes year-round parasite protection essential. Our team will recommend appropriate preventatives to keep your pet safe from harmful infections and infestations.

Proactive wellness care is the key to a long and healthy life for your pet. Whether your pet needs a routine checkup, vaccinations, or senior care, our experienced team is here to provide compassionate, high-quality veterinary services.
