Comprehensive General Wellness Exams for Your Pets

At Mobile Vet Fort Worth, we understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family. Regular wellness exams are essential for keeping them healthy and happy throughout all stages of life. Our mobile veterinary service brings high-quality care directly to your home, ensuring your pet receives a thorough examination in a familiar and comfortable environment. Here’s what to expect during a general wellness exam with our dedicated team.

Initial Assessment

When we arrive, our first step is to create a calm atmosphere for your pet. This helps reduce any anxiety they may feel about the visit. We will begin with a brief history of your pet’s health, including any concerns you might have observed, their diet, and any changes in behavior. This initial conversation is crucial for tailoring our examination to your pet's specific needs.

Comprehensive Physical Examination

1. Vital Signs

A key part of our wellness exam involves checking your pet’s vital signs. We’ll measure their temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate. These indicators are foundational for assessing your pet’s overall health. Any abnormalities may prompt further investigation to ensure your pet is healthy.

2. Body Condition and Weight Management

Maintaining a healthy weight is vital for your pet’s well-being. We will evaluate their body condition, checking for any signs of obesity or being underweight. Our veterinarians will discuss appropriate diets and exercise regimens tailored specifically for your pet’s breed, age, and lifestyle.

3. Head-to-Tail Assessment

Our thorough physical examination covers every aspect of your pet’s body. We will examine:

• Eyes, Ears, and Nose: We assess your pet's eyes for clarity and any signs of irritation. Ear checks will look for wax buildup, infection, or parasites. We also examine the nose for any discharge that could indicate a health issue.
• Mouth and Teeth: Dental health is crucial for overall wellness. We’ll inspect your pet's gums and teeth for plaque, tartar, or signs of periodontal disease, discussing dental care options that suit your pet.
• Skin and Coat: We’ll check your pet’s skin for lumps, bumps, and signs of allergies or infections. A healthy coat is a sign of overall health, so we will assess its condition and discuss grooming needs.
• Abdomen: A gentle palpation of the abdomen allows us to check for any irregularities in the internal organs. This examination helps identify any potential gastrointestinal issues or organ enlargement.
• Limbs and Mobility: We’ll evaluate your pet’s limbs for any signs of pain or discomfort and check their range of motion. Early detection of joint issues can prevent long-term problems and ensure your pet remains active and playful.

Vaccination and Preventive Care

During the wellness exam, we will discuss your pet’s vaccination status and recommend any necessary vaccines based on their lifestyle, age, and health history. Preventive care is critical in protecting your pet from common diseases and ensuring they stay healthy.

Custom Health Recommendations

Based on our findings, we provide personalized recommendations tailored to enhance your pet’s quality of life. Whether it’s dietary changes, exercise tips, dental care guidance, or behavioral recommendations, we will work with you to set goals for your pet’s health.

Follow-Up and Ongoing Care

We believe in a proactive approach to pet health. Our mobile service allows us to maintain ongoing care and assessments as needed. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your pet’s progress and make any necessary adjustments to their care plan.
