Your pet needs annual doctor visits, just like you!

Regular wellness exams with a veterinarian are the foundation of a long and healthy life for your pet.

These routine checkups allow us to monitor your pet’s overall health, catch potential problems early, and give preventive care to avoid serious health issues down the road. At PetSmart Veterinary Services: Springfield, we welcome pets for vet check-ups with our friendly veterinary team in Springfield, PA.

Experienced Vet Check-ups

Pet wellness exams play a vital role in detecting health problems, which can help avoid more serious issues down the road. During these exams, our veterinarians will assess your pet’s overall condition, checking for any signs of illness or discomfort. A check-up can include routine vaccinations to prevent diseases, as well as diagnostic tests that evaluate your pet’s internal health.

We will be sure to provide the right care depending on your companion’s age, breed, and health history. 

We also have services for young pets and senior pets. Though puppies, kittens, and geriatric pets will need unique healthcare plans, wellness exams are a part of keeping pets happy and healthy at every stage of life.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Appointment

When you come in for a pet wellness exam, our friendly team will guide you through each step of the process. First, a veterinary assistant or technician will meet with you and your pet to take vital signs, such as weight, temperature, and heart rate, and gather important information about your pet’s medical history. Once this is completed, your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical examination, checking for any signs of health concerns. Our vet will discuss any findings and walk you through suggested treatments and diagnostic options. We encourage you to ask any questions you may have about your pet’s health, nutrition, and behavior. As a pet owner, we believe that you should feel informed about your pet’s care and have options available within your budget.

Parasite Prevention: Stopping Fleas, Ticks, and Heartworm

Parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms can wreak havoc on your pet’s health if not treated early. Our pet check-ups include testing for these common but dangerous parasites and parasite-borne diseases as well as discussing prevention. Fleas and ticks can cause skin irritations, while heartworms can lead to life-threatening conditions. Intestinal worms are another concern, particularly in young or outdoor pets. Through diagnostic testing, we can detect certain parasites and parasite-borne diseases in cats and dogs.

If your pet shows signs such as itching, unexplained weight loss, diarrhea, or lethargy, it could be due to a parasite infection. We carry parasite prevention and treatment options, including flea and tick preventatives and heartworm medication, to keep your pet protected. Ideally, we want to prevent a parasite problem before it starts. Year-round parasite protection is highly suggested for all of our patients, even indoor pets.

Finding the Right Pet Food

Knowing what and how much to feed your pet can sometimes be tricky. That’s where PetSmart Veterinary Services: Springfield comes in. Our veterinary team can offer nutritional counseling based on your pet’s individual needs during an exam. Whether it’s helping your overweight pet lose a few extra pounds or managing chronic conditions like diabetes, we can guide you in choosing the right diet. Nutritional needs vary depending on age, so our team can advise you on the best dietary options, whether you have a growing puppy, kitten, or older pet. Suspect your companion has a pet food allergy? We can build a plan to identify the food allergen. Plus, the PetSmart where we are located carries a range of prescription diets, so you can conveniently pick up specialized food on-site after your visit.

Your pet’s health is too important to wait.
