Why it matters
Pets can't tell you when something's off.
Catch issues early
Heart murmurs, dental disease, kidney changes — most show up in routine exams long before symptoms.
Live longer, healthier lives
Pets on consistent preventive care have measurably better outcomes and longer lifespans.
Spend less over time
Prevention is almost always cheaper than treatment. A vaccine costs less than the disease.
A baseline that grows
Each visit builds a clearer picture of your pet's health, making future care more accurate.
Inside the visit
What happens during a pet wellness exam.
Physical exam
Heart, lungs, eyes, ears, mouth, skin, joints, abdomen. Hands-on assessment of everything we can check from the outside.
History & lifestyle
Appetite, energy, behavior changes, diet, exercise. The conversation matters as much as the exam.
Diagnostics as needed
Bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal tests, x-rays — done in-house with same-day results in most cases.
Vaccine & preventive review
A check on what's due, what's coming up, and what your pet specifically needs.
What to expect
Your visit, start to finish.
Check-in & history
A quick weigh-in and a chat about how things have been at home — appetite, energy, any new behaviors or concerns.
Nose-to-tail exam
Your vet listens to heart and lungs, checks eyes, ears, mouth, skin, joints, and abdomen. About 15 minutes of hands-on time.
Vaccines & diagnostics
Any boosters or in-house lab work happen during the same visit. Most bloodwork comes back the same day.
Plan & takeaways
You'll leave with clear notes, refilled preventives if needed, and an upfront estimate for anything we recommend next.
Recommended cadence
How often is enough?
Age sets the rhythm. This is the schedule we recommend for most pets — your vet will tune it to yours.
Before your visit
What to bring.
Most wellness exams are pretty low-prep. Bring what you have — anything missing, we can handle on our end.
- Previous medical records (if you're new to Sploot)
- A list of any medications or supplements your pet is on
- Notes on anything you've noticed at home — even things that seem small
- A fresh stool sample if your vet has asked for one
- A leash or carrier (and your pet's favorite treat doesn't hurt)

Common questions
Wellness exams, answered.
How long do canine or feline wellness exams take?
Typically, feline wellness exams and dog wellness checks take around 20 to 30 minutes. However, this could extend if there are specific health concerns that need attention or if your pet would need additional screening tests.
Can vaccines and the exam happen at the same visit?
Yes — that's the norm. We do the exam first, confirm your pet is healthy enough to vaccinate, then administer any boosters that are due during the same appointment. No second visit needed.
Why might my vet recommend bloodwork or x-rays?
Routine bloodwork establishes a baseline for your pet's organ function and is the single best way to catch silent diseases like kidney issues or hyperthyroidism early. X-rays usually come up if we hear or feel something during the exam — a heart murmur, joint issue, or abdominal abnormality — and want to confirm before we recommend a treatment plan.
What factors influence the cost of pet wellness services?
The total cost of services in Sploot's pet wellness clinic can vary significantly based on these factors:
- The types of preventive care services needed during the visit (e.g. vaccination updates, dental care)
- If a serious or chronic health or dental issue is uncovered and additional treatment or advanced vet care is obtained during the same visit
Rest assured, our vets are here to give transparent and compassionate guidance, working with pet parents to make informed decisions for their pet's well-being.
What payment options are available in Sploot Vets?
For the safety of our clients and our clinics, we accept only cashless payments. We accept all major credit and debit cards, such as Amex, Discover, Visa, or Mastercard credit cards. You can also easily manage payments via the Sploot Vets app.
Does Sploot Veterinary Care accept pet insurance with wellness coverage?

What's the difference between a wellness exam and a sick visit?
A wellness exam is proactive — your pet is healthy and we're checking that everything still looks right. A sick visit is reactive — something specific is wrong, and we're diagnosing and treating it. The visits look similar from the outside, but the focus is different. If your pet shows symptoms during what was meant to be a wellness exam, we'll typically convert it to a sick visit on the spot rather than make you book a second one.
