Wellness for Every Stage of Life

healthy adult dogWhen you come to Bayside Animal Hospital, you’ll find veterinarians and staff that are passionate about the effectiveness and long-term benefits of preventive care. More than that, you will find a place as a welcomed team member who is included in decisions and who provides important feedback regarding your pet’s health and wellbeing. We utilize thorough wellness exams, early detection screenings, vaccinations tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, and parasite preventions as the core of your pet’s defense against illness and life-threatening conditions. We pledge to protect your pet’s health as best we can for as long as we can which means starting wellness exams early and keeping them consistent throughout their lifetime.

Adult Pet Wellness

The frequency of recommended wellness exams for adult pets is based on their age and medical history. Generally, we suggest biannual or annual exams. As your pet grows older, we begin to evaluate health components that commonly develop with aging. Additional components of adult pet wellness exams can include:

  • Early detection blood screens to evaluate kidneys, liver, and spleen
  • Fecal screenings
  • Ultrasounds for lumps and growths
  • Continued flea, tick, and heartworm control
  • Continued parasite control
  • Arthritis screening
  • Updated vaccinations
  • Dental examinations
