Pet Wellness Exams in El Paso, TX

During your pet’s wellness visit, our veterinarian will evaluate:

• Heart and lung function

• Weight, body condition, and muscle tone

• Temperature

• Skin and coat health

• Teeth and gums

• Lymph nodes

• Eyes and ears

• Mobility, joints, and gait

• Signs of parasites, wounds, or pain

These evaluations help us catch concerns early and create a care plan tailored to your pet’s needs.

Bloodwork and Lab Tests

Routine blood tests provide valuable information about organ function, immune health, and hidden diseases. Bloodwork can help detect:

• Kidney disease

• Liver problems

• Diabetes

• Thyroid disorders

• Infections

• Anemia and clotting issues

Early diagnosis means more effective treatment options and a better prognosis.

Parasites like fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can transmit serious diseases including heartworm, Lyme disease, and intestinal infections. During your pet’s exam, our team will review prevention options and conduct screenings to ensure your pet stays protected year-round.

A calm pet means a calm home. When your pet’s unwanted behaviors — such as barking, destructive chewing, or anxiety — are properly treated, the stress and worry you once felt begin to fade.
Our compassionate approach to pet behavior treatment helps owners feel supported every step of the way, knowing their furry companion is cared for by professionals trained in both medical and emotional behavior management.
Behavior medicine also helps:

• Reduce daily stress and tension for both pets and families

• Restore confidence in managing your pet’s reactions

• Create a stable, nurturing home environment

A Gentle, Fear Free Approach
At TLC Animal Hospital, your pet’s comfort is our top priority. As a Fear Free Certified practice, we use gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and calming techniques to ensure your pet feels safe throughout their exam. This helps create a stress-free experience and builds trust over time.

Tailored Recommendations for Long-Term Health
After completing the exam, our veterinarian will discuss personalized recommendations based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and medical history. This may include nutrition guidance, dental care advice, weight management support, vaccination schedules, and parasite prevention.

Unwanted behaviors like aggression, reactivity, or destructive habits can create safety concerns for families. With professional guidance from Dr. Dashley, our team develops individualized strategies that promote harmony between pets, owners, and other animals in the home.
By addressing the root cause — whether it’s fear, pain, or miscommunication — we help restore trust, improving both safety and companionship.
