Wellness & Preventative Care
Early Detection
Tailored Care Plans
All Life Stages
Staying on top of your pet's health before problems arise is one of the most effective things you can do as a pet owner. At The Neighbourhood Vet in Tewantin, our pet wellness checks are designed to keep your pet in good health at every stage of life, from their first vaccinations as a puppy or kitten through to regular health monitoring as they move into their senior years.
Our team carries out thorough physical examinations at every visit, assessing weight, dental health, coat condition, eyes, ears and organ function. We discuss your pet's diet, lifestyle and any changes you've noticed at home, and work with you to put together a preventative care plan tailored to their individual needs. Catching issues early almost always leads to better outcomes and lower treatment costs down the track.

Maintaining A Well-Rounded Wellness Plan
Preventative care goes well beyond the annual vaccination. A well-rounded wellness plan includes regular parasite prevention covering fleas, ticks, heartworm and intestinal worms, alongside routine blood tests that can detect early signs of organ disease, diabetes, anaemia and other conditions before any symptoms appear.
For senior pets, more frequent check-ups are strongly recommended, as age-related conditions can develop quickly and are far easier to manage when caught early.
During each wellness visit, we take the time to answer your questions and address any concerns, whether they relate to your pet's diet, behaviour, mobility or general condition. These visits also give us the opportunity to build a clear picture of your pet's baseline health over time, which makes it far easier to spot when something has changed.
Regular preventative care is one of the most straightforward and cost-effective investments you can make in your pet's long-term health and quality of life.
What Our Customers Say
FAQ
How often should I take my pet for a wellness check?
Most healthy adult dogs and cats benefit from a wellness check once a year. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits during their first year for vaccinations and health monitoring. Senior pets, generally those over seven years old, are best seen every six months, as age-related conditions can develop quickly and early detection makes a significant difference to treatment outcomes.
What does a pet wellness check include?
A standard wellness check typically includes a full physical examination covering weight, body condition, teeth, eyes, ears, skin and coat, heart and lung function, and abdomen. Your vet will also review vaccination status, discuss parasite prevention, and may recommend blood tests or other diagnostics depending on your pet's age, breed and history.
What vaccinations does my dog or cat need in Australia?
In Australia, core vaccines for dogs include distemper, hepatitis and parvovirus, often given as a combined C3 vaccine. Kennel cough vaccination is recommended for dogs in contact with other dogs. For cats, the F3 vaccine covers feline enteritis, calicivirus and herpesvirus. Your vet will recommend a schedule based on your pet's lifestyle and risk factors.
