Wellness exams keep your dog as healthy as possible!

Wellness care is the key to keeping your dog healthy. Annual wellness exams are the best way you can assure a longer, happier life for your dog. Your dog’s wellness exam at West Hills Animal Hospital & Emergency Center is an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns you have about your dog’s health with one of our veterinary professionals. We encourage discussions about nutrition, allergies, dental care (professional dental cleanings and at-home dental care), mobility issues, risk of infections, and any lifestyle or age related changes.

We Provide Comprehensive Wellness Exams

During your dog’s wellness exam, our veterinarians will:

• Obtain a medical history and check your dog’s vital signs
• Record your dog’s weight
• Perform a complete physical examination
• Perform a dental evaluation
• Protect your dog from infectious diseases through the judicious use of vaccines based on the age, health and environment of your dog
• Screen for the presence of parasites in blood and stool
• Recommend safe medications to eradicate parasites
• Discuss your dog’s nutritional needs and any behavioral issues
• Test your dog for heartworm disease
• Recommend heartworm and flea/tick preventatives

We Tailor Vaccinations to the Needs of Your Dog

Vaccinating your dog keeps your dog healthy by preventing potentially serious diseases. Dogs have different lifestyles and need to be given individual attention and consideration at vaccination time. At West Hills Animal Hospital & Emergency Center, healthcare programs are tailored individually for each pet.
