During a pet wellness exam at Belmont Animal Hospital, the following services may be provided:

Comprehensive physical examination: Our veterinarians perform a detailed physical examination of the pet, which includes assessing the body condition, listening to the heart and lungs, checking the eyes, ears, and mouth, palpating for any abnormalities, and evaluating overall body systems.

Nutrition and lifestyle guidance: Belmont Animal Hospital offers guidance on proper nutrition, feeding practices, and exercise routines to support optimal health and well-being for pets. Our veterinarians can recommend appropriate diets and advise on maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle.
