What To Expect At Our Veterinary Wellness Care Visits

Regular Check-Ups

The cornerstone of veterinary wellness care is regular check-ups. Just like humans, pets need to have routine exams to monitor their overall health. During these check-ups, we will perform a physical exam, check your pet’s weight, and ask about any changes in behavior or appetite. These check-ups are also an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about your pet’s health.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are an essential part of veterinary wellness care. They protect your pet from potentially life-threatening diseases and are required by law in most states. We will create a customized vaccination schedule for your pet based on their age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our Aventura, FL veterinarians invest time to provide advice considering your pet’s age, health, activities, and even travel plans.
