Wellness and Preventative Care for Dogs and Cats in St. Petersburg, FL

Healthy Pets, Happy Lives

The best veterinary care doesn’t start in an emergency—it starts with prevention. At St. Petersburg Animal Hospital & Urgent Care, our wellness services are designed to help your pet thrive at every stage of life. From puppy and kitten visits to senior support, we focus on early detection, proactive planning, and honest guidance that helps you stay ahead of problems, not just react to them.

We believe that true wellness care is personal. It’s rooted in consistent check-ins, early detection, and the trust that comes from knowing someone is looking out for your pet.

What We Offer

Comprehensive Wellness Exams
These annual (or biannual) checkups are the foundation of your pet’s health. We assess everything from weight and joint mobility to heart and lung function, taking time to understand what’s normal for your pet—and what’s changing.

Vaccinations and Boosters
We’ll walk you through which vaccines make sense for your pet based on their age, lifestyle, and risk—so you can feel confident they’re getting the protection they need, and nothing they don’t.

Parasite Prevention and Control
Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites are a year-round concern in Florida. We offer prevention plans that fit your pet’s needs and your budget, and make it simple to stay on track.

Early Disease Screening
Catching problems early can mean simpler treatment, better outcomes, and lower costs. That’s why we’ll strategically recommend wellness bloodwork, urinalysis, and screening panels based on your pet’s age, breed, and risk factors, allowing us to spot subtle changes before they become something more serious.

Senior Pet Care
As pets grow older, their needs shift—and so does the kind of care that supports their comfort and quality of life. Our senior wellness approach focuses on mobility, early detection of age-related changes, and keeping your pet feeling like themselves for as long as possible. We’ll be here to support both of you, helping your pet stay comfortable and giving you confidence to make the right decisions along the way.

Transparent Veterinary Exam Pricing

We know it’s not always easy to find clear, upfront pricing in veterinary medicine—especially for routine care. But when you’re trying to do right by your pet, uncertainty around cost can add unnecessary stress. That’s why we’ve made our wellness pricing as straightforward and transparent as the care itself.

We’ve bundled the most common services into simple, age-based packages that make it easier to plan for your pet’s care:

Wellness Package Prices

  • Canine Adult Wellness Package – $195
  • Feline Adult Wellness Package – $195
  • Wellness Package with Adult Bloodwork (CBC, Chemistry, Electrolytes) – $320

These packages cover everything your pet needs for a routine visit, with optional diagnostics for a more complete picture of their health.

Puppy & Kitten Packages

  • First Visit – $135
  • Booster Visits – $100 each (typically two additional visits)

These visits include exams, core vaccinations, and personalized guidance to get your new pet off to a strong, healthy start.

Add-On Services

  • County License
  • Microchip
  • Heartworm, Flea, and Tick Prevention

We’ll help you choose the right plan for your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk—without pushing anything they don’t need. Whether it’s your pet’s first visit or their fifteenth, you’ll get straightforward options, honest recommendations, and no surprise charges.

When to Schedule a Wellness Exam

We know it’s tempting to only bring your pet to the vet when something feels off. But in our experience, routine wellness visits are one of the most important things you can do to help your pet stay healthy, comfortable, and themselves year after year.

These check-ups give us a chance to catch small issues early, manage age-related changes, and guide you through each stage of your pet’s life with clarity and care. They also help us get to know your pet—so when something is off, we’re starting from a place of understanding.

We typically recommend annual exams for healthy adult pets. Puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with chronic conditions may need to come in more often—and we’ll walk you through what makes the most sense based on your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle.

Here are some of the most common reasons we encourage clients to schedule a wellness visit:

  • Your pet is due for vaccines or a check-up
  • You’ve noticed subtle changes (like appetite, weight, or energy)
  • You’ve recently adopted a new pet
  • You’re preparing for boarding, daycare, travel, or seasonal prevention
  • You want to stay ahead of potential problems—not just respond to them

Preventative care may not feel urgent, but it’s often the care that matters most. It’s how we build trust with your pet, clarity for you, and a foundation for lifelong health.

What to Expect

Your pet’s visit will begin with a full physical exam and a conversation about their history, lifestyle, and any changes you’ve noticed. We’ll talk through vaccine schedules, parasite prevention, diet, and any recommended diagnostics. If your pet needs follow-up care, we’ll create a clear plan with written estimates and options tailored to your goals.

You’ll leave with answers, a better understanding of your pet’s health, and a plan for what comes next.

Post-Visit Support

After your appointment, our team is here if questions come up. You’ll receive any test results promptly and can always reach out to discuss next steps. Need help giving a medication, adjusting food, or finding the right prevention product? We’ve got you. Care doesn’t end when the visit does—and neither does our commitment.

Lifelong Wellness, Built on Trust

At St. Petersburg Animal Hospital & Urgent Care, wellness isn’t just part of what we do—it’s how we build the kind of relationships that make everything else possible. When we know your pet, we can spot problems earlier. When you know us, you feel confident asking questions, weighing options, and making informed choices.

Whether you’re raising a new puppy or caring for a senior companion, we’re here for the long haul—with care that’s proactive, honest, and grounded in trust.
