Pet Wellness Exams in Griffin, GA

Routine wellness exams are the cornerstone of lifelong pet health. At Griffin Animal Care, we provide gentle, comprehensive checkups for dogs and cats to detect concerns early and support overall well-being.

Preventative Health from the Start

At Griffin Animal Care, we believe that regular wellness visits are one of the most important things you can do for your pet’s health. These checkups allow us to monitor your pet’s weight, behavior, and internal health over time — helping us catch issues early and provide guidance based on their age, breed, and lifestyle.

Whether your pet is a playful puppy, curious kitten, or entering their senior years, we tailor every pet wellness exam to meet their specific needs.

What to Expect During a Vet Checkup

Our vet checkups are more than just a quick look. During a wellness exam, we:

  • Conduct a full physical exam from nose to tail
  • Check eyes, ears, teeth, and skin for abnormalities
  • Listen to the heart and lungs
  • Assess weight, mobility, and joint health
  • Review your pet’s diet and daily routine
  • Recommend vaccinations, parasite prevention, and diagnostic screenings

If your pet is due for bloodwork, fecal testing, or heartworm screening, we may also recommend those as part of their dog or cat wellness care plan.

How Often Are Pet Wellness Exams Needed?

We typically recommend:

  • Annual exams for healthy adult pets
  • Biannual exams for senior pets or those managing chronic conditions
  • More frequent visits for puppies and kittens during their first year

Your pet’s exact schedule will depend on their age, breed, and health history. Our team will work with you to create a wellness plan that fits your pet’s needs — and your peace of mind.
