Pet Wellness Exams in
Brazoria, TX

We want to ensure that your best friend is the best that they can be!

To do this, we recommend routine examinations, even when your pet appears to be a healthy adult. It is very important to keep an eye on your pet’s weight. Too many pets are obese and that can cause some serious problems!

At the same time, our veterinarians will look for any potential problems that need to be dealt with. We are hoping to catch any problems before they become quite serious. The sooner that we diagnose a problem, the easier it is to fix!

Routine visits are also a time to catch up with you. We like to know how things are going at home and if you are having any problems. We will also make sure that your pet’s vaccinations are up-to-date It is also a good time to discuss preventative medicine, which is so important to keep your pet healthy. We can get you more flea and tick medications, heartworm medication, or anything else that you may need while you are in the office.

Did you know that by the time your dog is 7 years old, he/she is considered a senior? There are some variables, specifically, that dog’s weighing more than 50lbs reach their senior years earlier (think 6years of age) vs dogs weighing less than 50lbs (9 years of age).

Cat’s are considered seniors around the 7-8 year mark as well.

The most common diseases we see that affects our older pets health include internal organ failure (heart, kidneys, liver), arthritis, obesity and dental disease.

Some of these disease processes can be caught early via routine blood screening conducted during your pet’s annual vaccination exam. Other’s may present more subtly and can be picked up during the exam itself.

Unfortunately, many of these disease processes cannot be cured, only managed. As such, we believe that together we can discuss what methods can be incorporated to slow down or manage the disease so your pet can continue to live a full and happy life.
