Pet Wellness Exam
Every pet deserves to stay healthy.
Affordable Animal Hospital offers low-cost pet wellness exams that help your dog or cat live a long, happy life. Our experienced veterinary team, headed by Dr. Walia, is committed to high-quality preventive care that fits your budget. By choosing to bring your companion in for a pet wellness exam in Tacoma, WA, you keep them healthy year after year.
Your Pet’s Yearly Veterinary Visit
A yearly wellness exam is a simple and affordable way to keep your pet in good shape. During these visits, Dr. Walia performs a full physical checkup—from nose to tail. Our knowledgeable staff will examine your pet’s skin, ears, eyes, teeth, heart, lungs, joints, and weight to spot any early signs of illness.
These visits also give us a chance to provide routine vaccinations and suggest basic lab tests, like bloodwork, to screen for underlying issues. If your pet has been acting differently at home—maybe changes in behavior, eating habits, or energy—we’ll talk it through. We can even use pet wellness exams as a second opinion visit if you’re unsure about advice you’ve received elsewhere and want to talk with an experienced veterinarian like Dr. Walia.
Nutrition Guidance For Healthier Pets
A wellness exam is the perfect time to talk about your pet’s diet. Dr. Walia offers practical, affordable recommendations based on your pet’s age, weight, and medical needs. If your pet needs help managing a health condition that requires nutrition advice, like obesity or diabetes, talk to our veterinarian. Our team is also happy to discuss how nutrition changes from puppy and kitten years to senior pet needs.
We carry a selection of maintenance and prescription pet foods right here in our veterinary clinic. If your pet requires something special that we don’t have in stock, we’re happy to place an order for you. Nutrition is a key part of your pet’s long-term health, and we’ll make sure you leave with a clear plan.
Keeping Pet Parasites Away All Year Long
Parasite prevention is essential in the Tacoma area, no matter the season. Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms can all cause serious problems for your pet. Dr. Walia recommends monthly protection (every four weeks) to keep these pests at bay. Look out for symptoms like itching, biting, skin irritation, or infections—these could be signs your pet already has a parasite problem.
During your pet’s wellness exam, we will discuss the best options and provide parasite preventatives right here in the clinic. Remember, keeping up with parasite prevention is much more affordable than treating parasite-borne diseases like heartworm disease.
