Wellness Care for Pets

At McDonough Animal Hospital, we believe that routine wellness care is the foundation for a long, happy, and healthy life for your pet. Just like people benefit from annual checkups, pets thrive when preventive care is a regular part of their lives.

Wellness exams allow our veterinary team to detect health concerns early—often before they become serious problems. These visits give us the chance to assess important factors such as weight and body condition, dental health, heart and lung function, skin and coat quality, and even changes in behavior or lifestyle. By catching subtle shifts, we can address potential issues quickly and keep your pet feeling their best.

Every pet is unique, which is why we create a personalized health profile during wellness exams. This allows us to recommend the right vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutrition guidance, and diagnostic screenings based on your pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle.

For puppies and kittens, wellness care helps build a strong foundation through early protection and behavior guidance. For senior pets, regular visits allow us to closely monitor for age-related conditions such as arthritis, thyroid issues, or kidney disease, ensuring we can provide timely support.

Wellness care is about more than preventing illness—it’s about supporting your pet’s overall quality of life. These routine visits strengthen the bond between you, your pet, and our veterinary team, while ensuring compassionate, proactive care through every stage of life.

By prioritizing wellness visits at McDonough Animal Hospital, you give your pet the best chance at a longer, healthier, and happier life by your side.
