PetWellness Examsin Columbus, Ohio
Your pet deserves a lifetime of health and happiness. Our wellness exams are designed to catch concerns early, keep vaccinations up to date, and give you peace of mind. Whether your pet is due for an annual checkup or you have questions about their overall health, we’re here to support your pet at every life stage.
Proactive Care for aHealthier Life
At Bexley Animal Hospital, we believe the key to your pet’s long, happy life starts with consistent, compassionate wellness care. Our pet wellness exams are more than just routine checkups—they’re comprehensive assessments that help us identify health concerns before they become serious problems.
Whether your dog or cat is a playful puppy or kitten, a healthy adult, or a cherished senior, we tailor our recommendations to their unique needs. Our veterinarians take time during each visit to examine your pet thoroughly and discuss any lifestyle, dietary, or behavioral concerns you may have.
What’s Included in aWellness Vet Checkup?
Each wellness visit is customized, but typical appointments may include:
A full nose-to-tail physical exam
Weight and body condition assessment
Age-appropriate vaccinations for dogs, cats, puppies, & kittens
Parasite prevention recommendations
Nutritional and lifestyle counseling
Discussion of your pet’s behavior, mobility, and energy levels
Bloodwork or diagnostics (as needed)
Geriatric care for senior pets, including monitoring for arthritis, organ function, and cognitive health
Annual exams help us build a clear picture of your pet’s health over time, making it easier to detect subtle changes. We’ll also work with you to create a personalized vaccination plan that avoids over-vaccination while offering robust protection.
Vaccinations & Dog Licensing
Keeping your pet’s vaccinations current isn’t just important for their health—it’s also required for local licensing. Ohio law requires all dogs over three months of age to be licensed each year, and a valid rabies vaccination is a key part of that process. During your dog’s wellness exam, we’ll ensure they’re up to date on core vaccines like rabies and provide any documentation needed for licensing.
You can register or renew your dog’s license online through the Franklin County Dog Licensing portal. Licenses are available in one-year, three-year, or permanent options, and discounted rates are available for dogs who are spayed or neutered.
Hospitalization and Ongoing Support
If your pet ever requires additional monitoring or treatment, we offer hospitalization for some types of non-critical conditions in a calm, attentive environment. Our team will work with you to ensure your pet receives the care they need with minimal stress.
We also offer a drop-off veterinary service for sick pets. You can schedule a drop-off by calling our office, then fill out the online drop-off form.
