Disease Prevention

At Wheatland Animal Hospital, we believe that regular checkups and wellness exams are essential to your pet’s long-term health and well-being. These visits keep us up to date with your pet’s health and allow us to detect potential problems before they become serious. 

 

To prepare for your visit, you’ll be asked to complete a short questionnaire about your pet’s lifestyle, behavior, diet, and environment. This information helps us create a personalized wellness and prevention plan tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

 

What’s Included in a Disease Prevention Exam

During your pet’s wellness visit, our veterinarians perform a nose-to-tail examination that includes:

• Eyes, ears, and nose health

• Oral exam (teeth and gums)

• Heart and lung evaluation

• Lymph node check

• Musculoskeletal and nervous system review

• Abdominal palpation

• Skin and coat assessment

 

This thorough approach helps us detect early signs of illness while also tracking your pet’s ongoing health over time.

 

Infectious Disease Prevention

As part of preventive care, we provide customized vaccination plans tailored to your pet’s:

• Age and breed

• Lifestyle (indoor vs. outdoor, travel, boarding, etc.)

• Diet and overall health

Vaccines are an important tool in preventing serious infectious diseases that can threaten your pet’s health and, in some cases, pose risks to your family.
