Routine Veterinary Checkups for Your Pet's Lifelong Health

When combined with regular vaccinations, preventive care and proper nutrition, physical examinations provide your cat or dog with the best chance at excellent lifelong health.

When you bring your pet in for routine checkups, it allows our team to work with you and your pet to prevent health issues from developing or catch them early, when they are most treatable. By addressing issues early, we can help avoid more invasive, painful and costly treatments that would otherwise be needed.

Your veterinarian at Northside Veterinary Clinic will give your dog or cat a complete physical checkup to get a view of their overall health. They will also provide you with the guidance you need to help maintain your pet's physical health during each stage of their life.

Checkups for Puppies & Kittens

In order for your puppy or kitten to have a healthy start, they'll need proper medical attention during those crucial first months of life. Our veterinary team is on hand to perform a detailed physical examination of your new pet and provide crucial vaccinations as needed. During their visit, our veterinarians will also test your new little friend for intestinal parasites and offer the appropriate course of action if needed.

What to Expect During an Exam

During your pet's routine exam at Northside Veterinary Clinic, the veterinarian will give them a thorough physical checkup to get a comprehensive view of their overall health.

Your veterinarian will also check whether your dog or cat is due for any routine vaccinations or preventive care. This is to ensure that they have adequate protection against serious but preventable diseases. Your pet will also undergo a quick behaviour evaluation, and your veterinarian will offer nutritional advice.

Some of the areas that your veterinarian will focus on during the wellness examination include:

Examinations for Senior Pets

As your cat or dog enters their golden years, ongoing examinations will be increasingly important in ensuring their good health and longevity. During your senior pet's wellness exam, you can expect your veterinarian to be particularly watchful for signs of potential age-related conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis or decreased vision. If your pet shows signs of these health issues, your veterinarian will share their findings and recommend treatment options.

We understand that getting around can become more difficult as your furry friend ages. We can offer curbside care at your car to provide your senior pet with simple services like vaccinations, allowing for optimal comfort and convenience.

Behaviour Training

Just like people, every pet is unique and has their own personality. During a routine examination, your pet will be evaluated by a technician who will look for any signs of behavioural issues. If there are any concerns, our veterinary team will refer you to a local professional trainer in Lethbridge who can work with you and your pet to address the issues.

Nutrition Counselling

Based on your dog or cat's age, breed and health, their dietary needs and preferences can change significantly. During your routine visits, our veterinarians can advise you regarding any nutritional concerns you may have regarding your pet.

We can assist you in navigating the various diet options available so that your pet can receive the proper nutrition they need to thrive. We are proud to offer a range of pet supplies, including pet foods to suit a variety of diets, through our on-site shop.
