Coronado Animal Hospital

At Coronado Animal Hospital, we believe that the foundation of a long, healthy, and happy life for your pet starts with comprehensive Wellness Care. Our wellness services are designed to prevent health issues, detect potential problems early, and ensure your pet thrives at every stage of life. Whether you have a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a senior companion, our tailored wellness programs are here to support their health and well-being.

What is Wellness Care?

Wellness Care focuses on preventive veterinary medicine to keep your pet healthy before serious issues arise. Unlike treatment for illness or injury, wellness care emphasizes routine check-ups, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and lifestyle guidance to promote optimal health. By investing in regular wellness visits, you can catch potential health concerns early, saving time, money, and stress while helping your pet live a longer, happier life.

Why Wellness Care Matters

Pets age faster than humans, and their health needs change rapidly. Regular wellness exams allow our veterinarians to monitor your pet’s health, identify subtle changes, and address issues before they become serious. Preventive care is especially critical because pets often hide signs of illness until conditions are advanced. Our Wellness Care services are designed to:

  • Detect health issues early through physical exams and diagnostic testing.

  • Protect against preventable diseases with vaccinations and parasite control.

  • Provide personalized advice on nutrition, exercise, and behavior to suit your pet’s unique needs.

  • Strengthen the bond between you and your pet by ensuring they feel their best.

Our Wellness Care Services

At Coronado Animal Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of Wellness Care services tailored to your pet’s species, breed, age, and lifestyle. Below are the key components of our wellness programs:

1. Comprehensive Physical Examinations

Regular check-ups are the cornerstone of preventive care. During a wellness exam, our veterinarians perform a thorough head-to-tail evaluation of your pet, checking:

  • Eyes, ears, and teeth for signs of infection or disease.

  • Heart and lung function to detect early cardiovascular or respiratory issues.

  • Skin and coat condition for allergies, infections, or parasites.

  • Joints and mobility to identify arthritis or other musculoskeletal concerns.

  • Weight and body condition to ensure a healthy diet and lifestyle.

We recommend annual wellness exams for young and adult pets and biannual exams for senior pets (typically 7 years and older) to address age-related health changes.

2. Vaccinations

Vaccinations are essential to protect your pet from contagious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Our team customizes vaccination schedules based on your pet’s risk factors, such as lifestyle, travel, and exposure to other animals. Common vaccinations include:

  • Dogs: Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, Bordetella, and Leptospirosis.

  • Cats: Rabies, Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia, and Feline Leukemia (for outdoor cats).

We stay up-to-date with the latest veterinary guidelines to ensure your pet receives safe and effective vaccinations at the right time.

3. Parasite Prevention and Control

Parasites like fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms can harm your pet’s health and even spread to other pets or humans. Our Wellness Care program includes:

  • Year-round flea and tick prevention to protect against skin irritation, allergies, and tick-borne diseases.

  • Heartworm testing and preventive medication to guard against this life-threatening parasite.

  • Routine fecal exams to detect and treat intestinal parasites.

We provide safe, effective products and guidance to keep your pet parasite-free.

4. Dental Care

Dental health is a critical but often overlooked aspect of your pet’s well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even systemic health issues like heart or kidney disease. Our Wellness Care services include:

  • Dental exams to assess for plaque, tartar, or gum disease.

  • Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia to remove tartar and prevent periodontal disease.

  • Guidance on at-home dental care, such as brushing techniques and dental chews.

5. Nutritional Counseling

Proper nutrition is vital for your pet’s growth, energy, and longevity. Our veterinarians offer personalized nutritional advice based on your pet’s age, breed, activity level, and health conditions. Whether your pet needs a weight management plan, a special diet for medical issues, or guidance on choosing high-quality food, we’re here to help.

6. Diagnostic Testing

Early detection is key to managing health issues. Our Wellness Care program includes diagnostic tests tailored to your pet’s needs, such as:

  • Bloodwork to evaluate organ function, detect infections, or monitor chronic conditions.

  • Urinalysis to assess kidney and bladder health.

  • Imaging (e.g., X-rays or ultrasound) for a deeper look at your pet’s internal health.

These tests help us establish a baseline for your pet’s health and catch abnormalities early.

7. Behavioral Support

Behavioral issues can affect your pet’s quality of life and your bond with them. Our team provides guidance on common concerns like anxiety, aggression, or house-training problems. We can recommend training techniques, environmental adjustments, or, if needed, refer you to a veterinary behavior specialist.

8. Senior Pet Care

As pets age, their health needs change. Our senior wellness plans focus on:

  • Monitoring for age-related conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or kidney disease.

  • Adjusting diet and exercise to support mobility and energy levels.

  • Providing pain management and comfort care to improve quality of life.

Tailored Wellness Plans

Every pet is unique, so we offer customized wellness plans to suit their individual needs. During your visit, our veterinarians will work with you to create a plan that considers your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and medical history. Whether your pet is a high-energy working dog, an indoor cat, or a senior pet with special needs, we’ll ensure they receive the care they deserve.
