Wellness at Every Life Stage

From new puppies and kittens to adult and senior pets, we provide comprehensive wellness care at every life stage.

New Puppies & Kittens

New pets start with a full physical exam, parasite screening, vaccinations, and a nutrition and care plan tailored to their breed and lifestyle. We're happy to discuss spay/neuter timing, microchipping, behavior and socialization, and pet insurance whenever you have questions.

Senior Pets

As pets age, generally cats over 10 and dogs in their senior years (which varies by breed and size), we recommend more frequent checkups, including bloodwork, oral health exams, mobility evaluations, and blood pressure screening to catch issues early.

What's Included in a Wellness Exam

  • Comprehensive physical exam
  • Dental evaluation
  • Weight and body condition assessment
  • Internal parasite testing
  • External parasite prevention strategies
  • Vaccination and deworming program
  • Blood tests

Why We Recommend Bi-Annual Visits

Many pet owners schedule veterinary visits only when obvious problems appear, missing chances for early treatment. Edmonton West Animal Hospital recommends bi-annual wellness examinations because pets can develop major health changes within months.

Regular wellness visits help us catch issues such as:

  • Silent dental disease that causes chronic pain
  • Developing arthritis that limits mobility and comfort
  • Early kidney disease before you notice symptoms
  • Heart conditions that worsen without monitoring
  • Cancer detection while tumors are still small
