Pet Wellness Services in Duluth, GA
Regular wellness exams are one of the most important things you can do to keep your pet healthy. We perform nose-to-tail physical exams for all pets — from puppies and kittens to senior companions.
Comprehensive Wellness Exams
What to Expect During an Exam:
- Full physical evaluation based on age, breed, and lifestyle
- Discussion of your pet’s history and any recent changes
- Annual bloodwork to screen for kidney, liver, and metabolic issues
- Preventative recommendations and baseline tracking
Areas We Evaluate
Skin & Coat
We look for infections, lesions, parasites (fleas, ticks, mites), and coat quality as signs of overall health.
Eyes
Exams detect age-related changes, infections, or growths around the eyelids.
Abdomen
Palpation helps us check organ size and placement, including the liver, kidneys, and bladder.
Lumps or Growths
Early detection matters — suspicious lumps may be sampled via needle biopsy during your visit.
Nutrition & Weight
We advise on diet to support health and manage conditions like diabetes, joint issues, or allergies.
Ears
We check for redness, swelling, discharge, or ear mites, which are common signs of early infection.
Behavior & Lifestyle
We explore changes in temperament, energy levels, or anxiety to uncover possible health concerns.
Teeth & Gums
We assess for tartar, inflammation, broken teeth, abscesses, or masses. Dental health impacts the entire body.
Heart & Lungs
We monitor heart rate, murmurs, arrhythmias, and breathing sounds to compare year-over-year changes.
Joints & Mobility
We assess gait and flexibility to detect arthritis or hidden pain.

Heartworm Disease & Prevention
Heartworm is a deadly disease caused by parasitic worms spread by mosquitoes. It affects both dogs and cats — even indoor pets.
Prevention & Care:
- Dogs: Chewables, topicals, or yearly injections are all options to prevent heartworm disease, as well as various intestinal parasites.
- Cats: Monthly topical treatment protects against heartworm, fleas, ear mites, and more
- Annual blood testing is essential for early detection and prevention efficacy.
