Wellness Care
Our veterinarians provide comprehensive pet wellness care
Wellness care is crucial when it comes to giving
your pet the best and healthiest life possible.
At PetNest Animal Hospital, our veterinarians provide comprehensive pet wellness care in Frisco and are passionate about doing what’s best to ensure the long-term health of each individual patient. When you bring your dog or cat to us for wellness care, we will assess every aspect of their health from the end of their snout to the tip of their tail. Our goal is to detect potential problems as early as possible and help you make the right decisions for your furry family member.
What to Expect
When you bring your pet to us for wellness care
A veterinarian will start by performing a thorough physical examination. This exam includes:
- Checking their weight and temperature
- Examining their eyes for signs of cataracts, infections, glaucoma, allergies, and jaundice
- Assessing their muscle tone and checking for enlarged lymph nodes
- Performing abdomen, spine, and joint checks to look for signs of tenderness, pain, tumors, and enlarged organs
- Testing the heart and lungs to look for heart murmurs, clear lungs, and irregular heartbeats
- Inspecting the ears and mouth for infections, inflammation, and tartar
- Performing blood work, urinalysis, and fecal testing
Why Wellness Care Is so Important
Wellness care allows us to catch potential problems like parasites, skin infections, tumors, and other issues early when they are easier (and more affordable) to treat. Bringing your pet in regularly for wellness care is also the best way to keep them updated on things like flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives and vaccinations.

Pet Wellness Care FAQs
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
We generally recommend that pets have a wellness exam at least once a year. However, senior pets or those with chronic health conditions may benefit from more frequent check-ups.
What should I bring to my pet’s wellness exam?
If you have not visited us before, you should bring any medical records, a list of your pet’s current medications, and any questions or concerns about your pet’s health. If your pet is due for fecal testing, it’s also helpful to bring a fresh stool sample.
Are wellness exams different for puppies and kittens?
Yes, puppies and kittens require more frequent wellness exams to monitor their growth and development and to ensure they receive the necessary vaccination boosters and preventatives.
Can pet wellness exams help with behavioral issues?
Yes, you can discuss any behavioral issues with your veterinarian during wellness exams. They can offer advice and training tips and, if necessary, refer you to a behavior specialist.
