Thorough exams, tailored prevention, and guidance you can trust.
A wellness exam at Jordan Bay isn't a quick checkup, it's a full assessment of your pet's health from nose to tail. Dr. Doucette reviews body condition, dental health, joint mobility, organ function, and behavioral changes to catch any concerns before they become problems.
We tailor preventive care recommendations to your pet's age, breed, lifestyle, and health history, including vaccine schedules, parasite prevention, nutrition guidance, and any screenings appropriate for their life stage.

Common questions
How often should I bring my dog or cat to the vet?
Most healthy adult dogs and cats should have a wellness exam once a year. Puppies, kittens, and senior pets benefit from more frequent visits, often every six months. Dr. Doucette will recommend a schedule based on your specific pet's age, breed, and health history during your first visit.
What happens during a wellness exam at Jordan Bay Animal Hospital?
A wellness exam at Jordan Bay is a thorough nose-to-tail evaluation. Dr. Doucette assesses body condition, dental health, joint mobility, heart and lung function, skin and coat, eyes, ears, and lymph nodes. She also reviews any behavioral changes, discusses nutrition, and addresses your questions directly, without rushing.
What vaccines does my dog need every year?
Core vaccines for dogs include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and hepatitis (DHPP). Lifestyle vaccines, such as Bordetella, leptospirosis, and Lyme, depend on where your dog spends time and their risk of exposure. Dr. Doucette will recommend the right protocol for your dog's specific lifestyle in the Sebago Lake region.
Does my indoor cat need annual vet visits?
Yes. Indoor cats still need annual wellness exams. Many serious health conditions, dental disease, kidney disease, thyroid issues, and early cancer, develop without obvious symptoms. Annual exams catch these changes while treatment options are broadest. Indoor cats also need rabies vaccination in Maine, which is required by law.
What is the best age to start bringing a puppy or kitten to the vet?
Puppies and kittens should start their veterinary care between 6 and 8 weeks of age. Early visits establish a vaccine schedule, screen for parasites, assess development, and begin building a health history. Starting early also helps young animals become comfortable with veterinary care, which benefits them for life.
