Preventative Care to Keep Your Furry Friend Healthy

Pet Wellness Exams in Durham & Chapel Hill

Unfortunately, our pets cannot easily communicate with us when they are not feeling well or if something is wrong. Therefore, it is important to establish a baseline for your pet’s health. Bringing your pet into Park Veterinary Hospital & Urgent Care for wellness exams allows our skilled veterinarians to recommend necessary preventative care to help protect your pet from diseases and manage future issues.

To schedule an appointment for a wellness exam in Durham, call (919) 544-3758 or fill out our online request form.

What Do Pet Wellness Exams Include?

Because pets age around seven times faster than humans, it’s important that pets of any age or kind receive wellness exams every six months. This enables our veterinarians to evaluate your pet’s body systems from their respiratory organs to their skin and teeth and document any noticeable changes.

During wellness exams, our veterinarians might also perform or administer:

Blood work: Blood tests allow us to check the conditions of your pet’s internal systems. In our in-house laboratory, we will test your pet’s liver, kidney, and thyroid functions. We will also check your pet’s blood chemistry at this time.

Vaccinations: Just as we need vaccinations to prevent dangerous diseases, pets need them as well. During your pet’s wellness exam, we will partner with you to determine the best vaccination schedule for your pet to ensure he or she is protected.

Internal parasite prevention: Pets are at risk of contracting many different kinds of parasites from fleas and ticks to heartworm. During your pet’s wellness exam, we will conduct parasite screenings and discuss ways to prevent infestations.

Dental care: Because your pet’s oral health is important to his or her overall health, we will conduct routine dental exams to maintain your pet’s dental hygiene.

We are more than happy to answer any questions. Just give us a call at (919) 544-3758 or send us a message online. We are happy to partner with you to keep your pet healthy so he or she can live life to the fullest.

Care, compassion and commitment.

My dog Kali has been to different facilities before and it's always a hassle getting her to get out of the car and go in. She normally hates it. After my second visit I noticed she would jump out the car and run right in. One day when picking her up Irene came out to greet me and had Kali. Kali is absolutely in love with her !! I mean she is a dog who was abused severely and normally will not connect with people, but there's something about her! Irene and I had an amazing convo where she gave me some advice about Kalis anxiety and had so much knowledge about her health, more than your average person. I CANNOTTTTT recommend enough!
I don’t know how they’re able to make my dog smell fresh and good but they do a very thorough job for a reasonable price!
This is an amazing place. They took great care of our little guy Midget when we boarded him. The facilities are clean and well kept. The staff is amazing and love what they do
Our fur babies haven’t boarded here yet but we are long time patients of the vet hospital next door. I toured the facility yesterday and it was beautiful. Arianna was so friendly and informative. I am very picky about who watches our dogs and where they go. I feel totally at ease scheduling them for boarding for an upcoming vacation! Thank you Park Vet!
