A Personalized Approach to Wellness and Longevity

At Monte Vista Animal Hospital, we believe every pet deserves a care plan tailored to their unique needs. Our preventive veterinary care is designed to keep your pet healthy, active, and happy — starting with thorough pet wellness exams and annual checkups for dogs and cats.

We don’t just listen to lungs and check vitals. We listen to you. From the moment you walk through the door, our compassionate team partners with you to ensure your pet receives the very best care — focused on long-term health, comfort, and quality of life.

Why Preventative Care Matters

Modern veterinary medicine allows pets to live longer than ever before — but only if we stay ahead of illness. Routine health screenings for pets help us detect changes early and intervene before issues become serious.

During a wellness visit, we’ll check:

  • Weight, mobility, and behavior changes
  • Skin, ears, eyes, and teeth
  • Heart and lung function
  • Internal health through bloodwork and urinalysis
  • Vaccination status and parasite prevention
  • Diet and lifestyle recommendations
  • Abdominal and lymph node palpation to feel for pain, fluid, masses

We also take time to address any concerns you may have, answer questions, and offer personalized support throughout your pet’s life stages.

Wellness Through All Life Stages

Puppies & Kittens

Get your new family member off to the healthiest start with essential vaccines, parasite control, spay/neuter guidance, and training tips.

Adult Pets

Senior Companions

Older pets need extra care. We focus on mobility, pain management, and frequent wellness monitoring to support aging gracefully and comfortably.

What to Expect at Your Pet’s Wellness Exam

We schedule longer appointments to ensure you never feel rushed. Whether you’re coming in for a routine checkup or updating annual vaccinations, our team ensures every visit is as calm, supportive, and informative as possible.
