Routine Pet Exams
Preventative care is the foundation of a healthy life for your pet. Our routine vet exams are tailored to catch issues early, promote lifelong wellness, and keep your dog or cat feeling their best.
A Personalized Approach to Preventative Veterinary Care
At Boston Animal Hospital – North Station, we believe prevention is the best medicine. Routine pet wellness exams are essential to your pet’s long-term health, helping us detect and address medical concerns before they become serious or costly. Whether you have a playful new puppy or a wise senior cat, our team tailors each vet checkup to your pet’s life stage, medical history, and lifestyle.
Our full-service veterinary clinic in Boston’s North End offers comprehensive wellness visits, including physical exams, preventative screenings, and one-on-one consultations. These visits also give you time to ask questions about behavior, diet, and anything else on your mind, because we believe the best care comes from partnership and communication.
Routine Care
What’s Included in a Routine Vet Exam?
During your pet’s wellness exam, we’ll assess their overall condition, look for subtle changes, and recommend proactive care steps based on their needs. Our vet exams typically include:
- Comprehensive physical exam from nose to tail
- Pet bloodwork (recommended every six months) for early disease detection
- Annual vaccinations for dogs and cats to prevent serious illness
- Flea and tick prevention tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and environment
- Heartworm prevention and testing
- Fecal examination to check for intestinal parasites (recommended at least once per year)
- Behavior & Nutrition consultations to support your pet’s physical and emotional well-being
These appointments are also great for discussing things like microchipping, spaying or neutering, or updates to your pet’s preventative plan.
Regular Visits, Better Health
How Often Should My Pet Get a Vet Exam?
We recommend that pets receive a wellness exam every 6 to 12 months, depending on their age, species, and overall health. Senior pets and those with chronic conditions may benefit from more frequent check-ins, while healthy adult pets typically do well with biannual visits.
Regular vet checkups not only help catch issues early, but they also build a consistent medical history, helping us make better, more informed decisions over time.
