PetWell Veterinary Healthcare
Veterinary Wellness Care in Atlanta, GA
At PetWell Veterinary Healthcare, we believe proactive wellness care is the key to a long, happy, and healthy life for your pet. From their first puppy or kitten visit to their golden years, our team is here to provide personalized wellness services tailored to every stage of life.
Comprehensive Pet Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams are the cornerstone of preventive veterinary care. These visits allow our team to catch health issues early—before they become serious—and ensure your pet is on the right track with nutrition, behavior, and vaccinations.
During a wellness exam, we perform a head-to-tail assessment, which includes:
- Weight check and body condition evaluation
- Examination of skin, coat, eyes, and ears
- Dental health review
- Heart and lung evaluation
- Abdominal palpation for organ health
- Nail and paw check
- Behavioral and lifestyle assessment
- Vaccine updates and parasite prevention review
We may recommend diagnostics such as bloodwork, urinalysis, or thyroid testing, depending on your pet’s age and medical history.
Pet Vaccinations
Vaccines play a critical role in protecting your pet from infectious diseases such as rabies, parvovirus, distemper, feline leukemia, and more. At PetWell Veterinary Healthcare, we develop custom vaccination plans based on your pet’s age, species, breed, and lifestyle.
What to Expect from a Vaccination Visit:
- Thorough physical exam to ensure your pet is healthy enough for vaccines
- Discussion of core and non-core vaccine options
- Administration of necessary vaccines by experienced veterinary professionals
- Monitoring for any signs of allergic reaction
- Clear records and booster reminders
Vaccines are spaced appropriately over time to ensure maximum protection and minimize any risk of side effects. We’re always happy to answer questions about your pet’s vaccine schedule and which diseases may be more common in the Atlanta, GA area.
Pet Microchipping
Microchipping is a safe, reliable way to ensure your pet can always find their way home. This tiny chip, inserted under the skin between the shoulder blades, contains a unique ID number registered to your contact information.
Why Microchipping Matters:
- Permanent form of identification (unlike collars or tags)
- Helps reunite lost pets with their families
- Quick, non-invasive procedure—no anesthesia needed
- Microchips used at PetWell can also read your pet’s body temperature, reducing stress during appointments and supporting a Fear Free environment
We’ll take care of your pet’s initial registration, and we’ll help you understand how to keep your contact details up to date on the national registry. We recommend scanning the chip annually during your pet’s wellness exam to ensure it’s functioning properly and in place.
Routine Dental Exams
Oral health is essential to your pet’s overall well-being. During wellness visits, we examine your pet’s teeth and gums for signs of disease, discomfort, or tartar buildup. Dental issues can lead to pain, infection, and even systemic health concerns if left untreated.
During a dental exam, we check for:
- Gum inflammation and bleeding
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Loose or damaged teeth
- Bad breath
- Oral masses or lesions
If your pet needs a dental cleaning or surgery, we’ll discuss next steps and refer you to our Dental Procedures page for more information. Prevention and early care go a long way toward protecting your pet’s smile—and their overall health.
Flea, Tick & Heartworm Prevention
Parasites can affect your pet year-round, especially in warmer climates like Atlanta. At PetWell, we provide comprehensive parasite prevention strategies to keep your pet safe from fleas, ticks, and life-threatening heartworms.
Why Preventive Treatment Is Critical:
- Fleas and ticks can transmit diseases like Lyme, ehrlichiosis, and tapeworms
- Mosquitoes transmit heartworms, which can lead to lung and heart damage or even death
- Preventives are more effective and less costly than treatment
- Parasite control improves comfort, reduces itching, and protects both pets and people
Our veterinarians will recommend the best flea, tick, and heartworm medications based on your pet’s weight, species, age, and lifestyle. We also show you how to spot early signs of infestation and what to do if your pet needs treatment.
Customized Care at Every Life Stage
Every pet is unique. That’s why PetWell Veterinary Healthcare takes a customized approach to wellness care. Whether you have a curious kitten, a playful pup, a calm adult cat, or a senior dog, our team is here with solutions tailored to their specific needs.
