Pet Wellness Exams in Hebron, OH
At Refugee Canyon Veterinary Services in Hebron, OH, we believe preventative care is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your pet lives a long, happy, and healthy life. Our comprehensive pet wellness exams are designed to monitor your pet’s health, catch problems early, and provide proactive guidance tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, age, and medical history.
What Is a Wellness Exam?
A wellness exam is a routine, head-to-tail check-up that helps us evaluate your pet’s overall health and identify any changes or concerns before they become serious. These exams include:
A full physical examination
Weight & body condition assessment
Internal organ health evaluation (via labwork)
Preventative care planning
Parasite & flea/tick prevention
Vaccine updates
Whether your pet is a puppy or kitten, an energetic adult, or a senior slowing down, regular wellness exams are essential to maintaining good health.
Why Routine Veterinary Wellness Exams Matter
Just like people, pets benefit from routine health screenings — even if they seem healthy on the outside. Animals are experts at hiding discomfort or illness, which makes annual exams critical for early detection of disease or age-related conditions. Routine exams can help detect:
- Dental disease
- Heart murmurs or arrhythmias
- Skin conditions or infections
- Lumps or tumors
- Vision or hearing changes
- Weight-related issues
- Internal diseases (like kidney or liver problems)
Early intervention allows us to provide treatment or make lifestyle recommendations before a condition progresses, saving time and money and improving quality of life.
Preventative Testing & Annual Bloodwork
As part of your pet’s wellness exam, we often recommend annual bloodwork to evaluate organ function, monitor internal health, and establish baselines. These results help us detect hidden issues such as anemia, diabetes, liver disease, and more, even when outward signs aren’t present.
We also offer fecal testing for parasites, heartworm screenings, and other diagnostics tailored to your pet’s age and risk factors.
Vaccinations & Preventative Care
Vaccines are a vital part of every pet’s healthcare plan. During your pet’s wellness visit, we’ll review their vaccine history and provide any necessary updates to protect them from diseases such as rabies, parvovirus, distemper, Bordetella, and more.
We also help with:
- Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
- Behavioral advice
- Dietary and weight counseling
- Senior pet care plans
