Routine Care That Builds Lifelong Health

A little prevention goes a long way. Consistent wellness visits help your pet stay healthy, happy, and active through every stage of life.

Why Preventive Care Matters

Preventive care isn’t just about avoiding illness—it’s about catching concerns early, supporting overall wellness, and helping your pet live their best life. At Red Barn Veterinary Medical Center in Howell, MI, we believe consistent, proactive care leads to better outcomes and stronger bonds.

What’s Included in a Wellness Visit

Each wellness exam includes a nose-to-tail physical evaluation, discussion of your pet’s habits and behavior, and time for your questions. We’ll check weight, listen to the heart and lungs, assess eyes, ears, teeth, and skin, and watch for subtle signs of change.

Based on your pet’s age and health history, we may also recommend:

  • Vaccinations
  • Parasite prevention (fleas, ticks, heartworm)
  • Diagnostic screening
  • Nutritional guidance
  • Dental health evaluations

Care Plans That Grow With Your Pet

We tailor each wellness plan to your pet’s life stage—whether they’re a curious puppy or kitten, a healthy adult, or a senior in need of extra support. Our goal is to help you make confident, informed decisions through every chapter of your life.
