A routine health checkup is for the days when your pet seems perfectly fine. At GreenCoatVets in Mohali, our veterinary team offers wellness examinations that look at your pet’s overall health, help you plan preventive care and pick up small changes before they become bigger problems.
If your pet is already unwell, a consultation at our Specialized OPD is the right place to start. This page is about keeping healthy pets healthy.
Care tailored to your pet

Prevention matters
Pets are often good at hiding discomfort. Weight gain, stiffness, dental disease or a slowly worsening skin problem can go unnoticed at home for weeks or months. Because pets age faster than people, a short interval between visits can mean a noticeable change in health.
A regular checkup gives your veterinarian a baseline to compare against, so subtle changes are easier to spot.
A wellness visit can be useful at different stages of your pet’s life.
Your pet’s visit
The appointment is tailored to your pet. Your veterinarian will explain the findings and discuss suitable next steps.
Your veterinarian will ask about appetite, water intake, energy, toileting, exercise, diet and any changes you have noticed. Even small observations, such as sleeping more or hesitating on stairs, can be useful.
The examination typically covers weight and body condition, eyes, ears, mouth and teeth, skin and coat, heart and lungs, abdomen and joints. Findings are explained in plain language.
Based on the examination, the veterinarian can discuss vaccination status, parasite prevention, nutrition, weight management and dental care.
A checkup does not always involve tests. If the examination raises a question, your veterinarian may suggest further evaluation through veterinary diagnostics in Mohali.
Care at every age
Preventive care can change as your pet grows older. Your veterinarian can help you plan visits around individual needs.
Early visits focus on growth, development, nutrition and vaccination planning. They are also a good time to ask about training, socialisation and parasite prevention.
Many veterinarians suggest at least one wellness visit a year for healthy adult pets. These visits track weight, teeth, skin and general condition over time.
Older pets can develop conditions such as joint discomfort, dental problems or changes in organ function. Your veterinarian may recommend more frequent checkups and, where appropriate, additional tests.
Small changes can matter
Tell the veterinarian about changes even if they seem minor. If symptoms are significant or getting worse, book a consultation rather than waiting for a routine visit.
For difficulty breathing, collapse, seizures or other serious signs, contact our emergency care team immediately.
A little preparation can help you make the most of your appointment.
