At Jefferson Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive wellness and preventative care in St. Louis to help pets live longer, healthier lives.

Our proactive approach to pet health focuses on preventing disease and detecting potential issues early when they’re most treatable. Through regular wellness exams, tailored vaccination schedules, and personalized health recommendations, we build a foundation for your pet’s lifelong well-being.

The Importance of Regular Wellness Visits

Early Detection Starts With Routine Visits

Routine wellness exams are essential for maintaining your pet’s health — even when they appear perfectly healthy. During these visits, our veterinarians conduct thorough physical examinations, checking everything from your pet’s weight and vital signs to their skin, coat, joints, eyes, ears, and internal organs. These assessments allow us to establish baselines and detect subtle changes that could indicate developing problems.

Compassionate Pet Care You Can Trust

Privately Owned Veterinary Hospital in St. Louis

Jefferson Animal Hospital provides comprehensive wellness and preventative care for dogs and cats in St. Louis and the surrounding areas.

Comprehensive Wellness Care for Pets of All Ages

Because they age so much faster than humans, dogs and cats frequently experience health issues that develop quickly. We'll conduct a comprehensive exam on your pet when you bring them in for a wellness care appointment to evaluate their general health and look for any early indications of potentially serious health issues. By diagnosing disease early and starting treatment right away, we are often able to halt minor issues in their tracks before they have a chance to worsen.

We'll also talk about crucial wellness services during the exam, such as regular bloodwork, fecal screening, immunizations, parasite prevention, and more. Additionally, you'll have the chance to voice any worries you may have regarding your pet's diet, behavior, or general health.
