Pet Preventative & Wellness Care
At 4 Paws Veterinary Care in Wynantskill, NY, we emphasize preventative care as the foundation of a long, healthy life for your pet. Our thorough pet wellness exams and personalized preventative care help dogs and cats stay healthy year after year with everything from routine checkups to customized vaccine schedules and early disease screening to catch potential issues early—before they can develop into something serious.
Why Routine Pet Wellness Exams Matter
Your pet may seem perfectly healthy, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing happening beneath the surface. Pets are experts at hiding discomfort, and many diseases don’t show symptoms until they’ve progressed.
Routine pet checkups allow us to monitor your pet’s health over time and detect subtle changes before they become serious problems. Wellness exams are also the ideal time to:
- Update vaccinations
- Monitor weight, diet, and behavior
- Discuss dental health
- Screen for parasites
- Adjust medications and supplements
- Receive professional advice tailored to your pet’s age and lifestyle
With consistent care, we can help your pet live a longer, healthier, and more comfortable life.

Wellness Care for Every Life Stage
Your pet’s needs change as they grow. That’s why we tailor wellness care to your pet’s age, breed, and risk profile:
- Puppies and kittens need vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and guidance on growth, nutrition, and socialization.
- Adult pets benefit from annual exams, lifestyle-based prevention, dental care, and baseline diagnostics.
- Senior pets require more frequent visits to monitor for age-related changes and manage chronic conditions proactively.
No matter your pet’s stage in life, we’re here to guide you with trusted, evidence-based recommendations.
