Annual Wellness & Vaccinations | 16th Avenue Animal Hospital
🐾 Annual Wellness and Vaccinations
At 16th Avenue Animal Hospital, we believe that preventive care is one of the most important steps in ensuring your pet lives a long, healthy, and happy life. Annual wellness exams and vaccinations allow our veterinary team to monitor your pet’s overall health, detect potential problems early, and protect against serious and preventable diseases.
Pets age faster than humans, which means health conditions can develop quickly. Regular wellness visits help us identify changes in your pet’s health before they become more serious, ensuring timely treatment and better long term outcomes.

🩺 Comprehensive Annual Wellness Exams
During your pet’s annual wellness visit, our veterinarian performs a thorough head to tail examination to assess your pet’s overall health and detect any early signs of illness. This comprehensive exam typically includes:
Physical Examination
We carefully evaluate your pet’s: weight & body condition, heart & lung function, skin & coat condition, eyes/ears/nose, teeth & gums, joints & mobility, abdomen, hydration levels, and overall behavior.
Preventive Health Screening
Depending on age, breed, and history, we may recommend blood tests, urinalysis, fecal examination, parasite screening, heartworm testing, and senior pet screening to detect hidden conditions like kidney disease or diabetes.
Personalized Plan
Our team creates a customized vaccination schedule based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, travel habits, exposure to other animals, and medical history. We only recommend what's truly needed.
