Wellness Care in DeLand

Compassionate, Preventive Care for the Pets You Love

A wellness exam is more than a checkup — it’s a proactive way to keep your pet feeling great year after year. At Woodland Animal Clinic, our veterinarians take time to evaluate every aspect of your pet’s health, from head to tail. We listen to the heart and lungs, check teeth and gums, evaluate joints, and discuss your pet’s behavior, diet, and daily habits.

Regular wellness exams give us the chance to catch small concerns before they become bigger health problems, helping your pet live a longer, happier life.

How Often Should My Pet See the Vet?

We recommend that most pets visit once a year for a full wellness exam. Senior pets — typically dogs over seven and cats over nine — benefit from twice-yearly checkups and bloodwork. These visits allow us to monitor age-related changes such as arthritis, diabetes, and thyroid or kidney disease so we can act early.

What Happens During a Wellness Visit?

Each wellness visit includes a thorough physical exam and preventive care customized to your pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle. Common areas we check include:

• Eyes, ears, teeth, and skin health
• Heart and lung function
• Weight, nutrition, and body condition
• Vaccination and parasite prevention
• Behavior and mobility

Our veterinarians will talk through any findings, answer your questions, and create a plan that supports your pet’s health year-round.

Why Are Routine Exams So Important?

Preventive care gives your pet the best chance at a long and healthy life. By bringing your pet in regularly, you help us find and manage conditions early — often before symptoms even appear.

Do You Offer Vaccinations in DeLand?

Yes! Woodland Animal Clinic provides tailored vaccination plans based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk level. Whether you have an indoor cat, a hunting dog, or a growing puppy, we’ll recommend the right vaccines to keep them protected.
