Pet Wellness and Preventive Care
At PetCentre Animal Hospital, we emphasize consistent, proactive veterinary care as the foundation of a long and healthy life for your pet. Our comprehensive pet wellness exams are designed to monitor your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of illness, and give you peace of mind—all in a warm, welcoming environment.
What’s Included in a Pet Wellness Exam?
A pet checkup at PetCentre Animal Hospital is more than just a quick once-over. These appointments give us the opportunity to thoroughly assess your pet’s health, track trends over time, and build a strong foundation for preventive care.
During a typical wellness exam, our veterinarians will:
- Review your pet’s medical history and behavior changes
- Record vital signs and body condition
- Perform a full physical exam (eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, joints, skin, and more)
- Check weight and dental health
- Recommend and administer age-appropriate vaccinations
- Screen for parasites such as heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms
- Run in-house diagnostics as needed, including blood work or urinalysis
- Provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and behavior
We may also recommend additional testing or baseline diagnostics depending on your pet’s age, breed, and medical history. These screenings allow us to detect issues like kidney disease, diabetes, or heart conditions—often before symptoms appear.
Serving families throughout Manassas, VA, as well as Yorkshire, Centerville, Clifton, Bristow, Warrenton, Haymarket, and Nokesville, our veterinary team delivers high-quality checkups tailored to your pet’s life stage, lifestyle, and unique needs.
Why Pet Wellness Exams Matter
Just like people, pets benefit from regular health checkups—even when they seem perfectly healthy. In fact, because pets can’t tell us when something is wrong, early signs of disease often go unnoticed until they’ve progressed. Annual or semi-annual wellness exams allow us to:
- Catch illnesses early when they’re more treatable and less costly
- Prevent common health problems through timely vaccinations and parasite prevention
- Track important health indicators over time
- Offer peace of mind through consistent professional oversight
According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), adult pets should receive wellness exams at least once a year, with increasing frequency recommended as pets age.
Benefits of Preventive Veterinary Care
Preventive care is one of the most effective and affordable ways to help your pet stay healthy and active. Key benefits include:
- Early detection of diseases and chronic conditions
- Improved quality of life through pain prevention and behavior management
- Stronger immune protection from parasites and contagious illnesses
- Personalized care plans based on your pet’s unique needs
- A stronger bond between you, your pet, and your veterinary care team
Wellness exams also provide the perfect opportunity to ask questions and get expert advice, from dietary recommendations to managing your pet’s anxiety or allergies. Client education is a core part of our focus, and we encourage you to ask about any and all concerns you may have.

At PetCentre Animal Hospital, your pet’s wellness exam isn’t just another appointment—it’s a chance to build a lasting relationship with a team that cares.
