The Importance of Wellness Exams in Adrian, MI
Wellness exams and vaccinations are central to your dog or cat's healthcare and can help them stay protected against many illnesses throughout their life. From your very first visit, our veterinarians in Adrian will maintain a medical history of your pet and offer recommendations to keep them in good health for the long term. We share your concerns about giving your companion the best life possible, which is why we like to see them annually for a general checkup and any immunizations they need. With routine checkups, we can screen for and detect underlying problems much easier.

What to Expect from Your Pet's Exam
Like people, dogs and cats have the best chance at a long and healthy life when they see their veterinarian for regular checkups. We cover a lot of ground during these checkups, which include:
- A thorough physical exam and an assessment of your pet’s vitals
- Blood and fecal testing to screen for disease, internal parasites, and other issues
- Core and lifestyle vaccinations, if needed
- A discussion about your pet’s nutrition, behavior, and anything else of concern
- Deworming for puppies and kittens, if needed
- Prescribing flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives
Why Dogs and Cats Need Year-Round Parasite Control
Parasites are a never-ending threat to dogs and cats. Regardless of the season, pets will always need protection against flea and tick infestations and the diseases these pests can spread. Some diseases, including heartworm disease and Lyme disease, can be very harmful to your pet’s health if they aren’t treated quickly. Kelly Veterinary Clinic is home to a variety of excellent parasite preventatives for dogs and cats, so we’ll be more than happy to help you choose the best ones for your pet’s needs.
