Careful observations at home, combined with regular wellness exams performed by our veterinarians at Cornerstone Animal Hospital, is the best way to keep your dog or cat happy and healthy!

Wellness Exams for Dogs and Cats

During your pet’s wellness exam our veterinarians will:

• Obtain a medical history and check your pet’s vital signs
• Record your pet’s weight
• Perform a complete physical examination
• Perform a dental evaluation
• Protect your dog from infectious diseases through the judicious use of vaccines based on the age, health and environment of your pet
• Screen for the presence of parasites in blood and stool
• Recommend safe medications to eradicate parasites
• Discuss your pet’s nutritional needs and any behavioral issues
• Test your pet for heartworm disease
• Recommend heartworm and flea/tick preventatives

For New Patients

If your pet is new to our animal hospital, we ask that you bring his or her medical records to the first exam. We also require a fresh stool sample (no more than 12 hours old) to examine for intestinal parasites.

Preparing Your Pet for Their Visit

For the safety of your pet and other clients and patients, please keep your dogs on a leash or in a secure carrier. For the safety of your cat, they should be transported in a secure carrier. Help your cat become comfortable with the carrier during the days prior to his or her appointment with us by placing it in a room where they spend a lot of time.

Call us today with any questions or concerns, or to schedule an appointment for your pet!
