Pet Wellness Exams in Marietta, GA – Town & Country West Veterinary Clinic

Trusted Care for Dogs & Cats in Marietta, Powder Springs, Kennesaw, Smyrna, Austell, Mableton & Hiram

At Town & Country West Veterinary Clinic, we believe that annual pet wellness exams are the cornerstone of a long, healthy, and happy life for your dog or cat. These comprehensive checkups allow our experienced veterinarians to detect and address health concerns early, often before your pet shows any signs, giving you peace of mind and your pet the best chance at a long life.

​

Many pet owners think of “yearly shots” when it comes to preventive care, but vaccines are just one piece of the puzzle. The physical exam is the most important tool in protecting your pet’s long-term health.

Vet Examining Dog

What’s Included in a Pet Wellness Exam

Whether you have a puppy, kitten, adult pet, or senior pet, our wellness exams are tailored to their species, age, and lifestyle. During your pet’s visit, we perform a nose-to-tail physical exam that may include:

​

  • Head-to-tail physical check (weight, temperature, coat, skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat)

  • Dental examination for gum disease and tooth health (when possible)

  • Heart & lung evaluation to detect murmurs, irregular rhythms, or respiratory problems

  • Abdominal & musculoskeletal exam for swelling, discomfort, or mobility issues

  • Parasite screening for fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites

  • Nutritional counseling for a healthy weight and diet

  • Urogenital & nervous system evaluation for signs of abnormalities

 

We also review your pet’s medical history, lifestyle, and environment to create a personalized preventive care plan.

Puppy & Kitten Wellness Care

Why Puppies & Kittens Need a Series of Vaccines

Puppies and kittens usually need a series of four visits to build full immunity. Maternal antibodies fade over time, so these booster vaccines are essential.

 

We provide PUP1–PUPF packages for puppies and KIT1–KIT4 packages for kittens, each including:

  • Physical exam

  • Parasite check

  • Nutritional counseling

  • Dental exam

  • Age-appropriate core vaccines

  • Rabies vaccine at final visit

When to Schedule a Wellness Exam

  • Healthy adults: Once a year

  • Seniors & pets with ongoing medical conditions: Every 6 months if possible.

  • Puppies & kittens: Every 3–4 weeks until vaccine series is complete

 

Early detection means less invasive treatments, lower costs, and better outcomes for your pet.
