Wellness & Preventive Care

Typically, pet wellness exams take around 20 to 30 minutes; they may take longer if there are specific health concerns brought up or if your pet undergoes additional screening tests.

Similar to how we prefer having the same general doctor, you might want the same dedicated care for your pet — from a vet they’re already comfortable with. We can arrange this at Sploot! In fact, we encourage our pet parents to see the same veterinarian. This helps pets get comfortable with regular veterinary visits.

Additional screening like x-ray and laboratory are generally done only if needed. These tests are commonly recommended for pets with health conditions, pets with recently reported symptoms, and senior pets.

Wellness exams and vaccination/revaccination can be done on the same day. However, whether or not vaccines can be given at the same time depends on the veterinarian's discretion. One of the factors that veterinarians look at is weight. Smaller breeds and younger pets generally cannot be given the same number of vaccines as larger breeds and adult pets.

You can choose to schedule an appointment with Sploot Vets months, weeks, or days in advance. We also accept same-day appointments and urgent-intakes (drop-offs)!

Vaccination protocols vary depending on your pet’s lifestyle, age, and overall health. Your veterinarian can recommend the appropriate vaccinations for your pet based on their individual needs.

It’s recommended that pets receive wellness exams at least once a year. However, some pets may need more frequent visits depending on their age and health status.

Providing your pet with regular veterinary care is the best way to keep them healthy. Additionally, giving your pet a balanced diet, adequate exercise, and plenty of love and attention will help them stay happy and healthy.

A heartworm test is a blood test that is used to check for the presence of heartworm disease in your pet. This test is an important part of preventive veterinary care, as heartworm disease can be fatal if left untreated.

Dental care for pets is an important part of their overall health and wellness. Pet dental care includes regular dental exams and teeth cleaning, as well as home care, such as brushing your pet’s teeth.

A microchip is a tiny device that is implanted under your pet’s skin and contains an identification number. This number can be used to identify your pet if they are ever lost or stolen.

Flea and tick prevention is an important part of a pet’s preventive veterinary care plan. This type of preventive care can include topical treatments, oral medications, and other preventative measures to help protect your pet from fleas and ticks.

Nutrition counseling is a type of veterinary care focused on helping pet owners choose the best diet for their pet. This type of counseling can include advice on the type of food, portion sizes, and more.

Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures performed by a veterinarian to prevent unwanted pregnancies. These procedures can help reduce the number of homeless pets, as well as provide health benefits for your pet.

The cost of a wellness exam varies depending on your pet's age and size and includes an exam fee plus any required procedures or medications. We provide clear pricing and a cost estimate before treatment, so no surprise bills. For a detailed quote or appointment, please contact us.

Reimbursement from a pet’s insurance plan is possible, as long as the treatment falls within the plan’s coverage scope.
