Wellness exams provide a complete picture of your pet’s physical and mental health. These visits allow veterinarians to detect hidden conditions, assess weight and behavior, update vaccinations, and discuss preventive care. Regular exams support early intervention, personalized health planning, and peace of mind, helping your pet live a longer, healthier life.
Sudden changes in behavior or appetite can signal underlying health or stress-related issues. Contact your veterinarian as soon as possible to schedule an evaluation. During the exam, we assess both physical and mental health factors, such as anxiety or lifestyle changes, to identify the cause and recommend appropriate treatment or management strategies.

Yes, ultrasounds are a safe, non-invasive diagnostic method for pets. They use sound waves rather than radiation to produce images of soft tissues and internal organs. This painless, well-tolerated procedure enables veterinarians to examine organs, detect tumors or foreign objects, and evaluate fluid-filled structures without causing your pet distress or harm.
Diagnostic imaging, such as digital X-rays and ultrasounds, can play an essential role in detecting tumors and abnormal growths early. These tools help visualize internal organs, masses, and structural changes that may indicate cancer. Early detection enables timely intervention, additional testing when needed, and more treatment options, thereby significantly improving outcomes.
During early veterinary visits, your puppy or kitten will receive thorough wellness exams and age-appropriate vaccinations. Your veterinarian will monitor growth, discuss spay or neuter planning, and answer questions about nutrition, exercise, training, and overall care. These visits are also an opportunity for you to build a relationship with your veterinary team and gain confidence in caring for your new pet.
To safely introduce a new kitten, start by confining them to a separate room so the cats can smell each other through the door. After a few days, allow visual introductions using a carrier. Gradually increase interaction if things go well. Avoid rushing the process, as cats need time to adjust. Calming pheromone products can also help ease stress during introductions.
Yes, dental disease can significantly impact your pet’s behavior. Oral pain and infection may cause changes such as irritability, reduced appetite, bad breath, pawing at the mouth, or reluctance to chew toys. Treating dental disease often leads to noticeable improvements in comfort, energy levels, and overall behavior once the source of pain is addressed.
Brushing your pet's teeth daily is the most effective way to support their dental health, although we recognize that some pets may not tolerate it well. We suggest alternatives such as dental chews, rinses, and toys to help control plaque and tartar buildup. Consistent home care, along with routine dental check-ups and cleanings, is crucial for preventing dental problems.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure and your pet’s overall health. For dental cleanings or minor oral surgery at Founders Green Animal Hospital, many pets recover quickly within a few days. Our team will provide detailed post-procedure instructions and let you know which signs to watch for during your pet’s recovery period.
At Founders Green Animal Hospital, we make scheduling a surgical consultation simple. You can call us or use our website to set up an appointment. During the visit, our team will examine your pet, discuss any concerns, review test results, and help determine whether surgery or another treatment is best for your pet’s health.
Most dogs are considered seniors at about 7 years old, while cats usually reach this stage at 9 years. Larger breeds tend to age more quickly than smaller breeds. Beginning senior care early helps identify subtle health changes before symptoms manifest, offering reassurance and enabling proactive support. Regular wellness visits for seniors ensure you're prepared for your pet’s aging needs.
Founders Green Animal Hospital advises senior pets to see the veterinarian at least twice annually. These biannual visits help our team track age-related changes and identify health issues early on. Routine checkups are crucial for older pets because conditions like arthritis, diabetes, and kidney disease can develop slowly and are more manageable when detected early.
