Examinations

Routine health examinations allow our veterinary team to individualize plans for each pet's specific needs. Regular visits can ensure that minor health conditions do not turn into more serious ones. Since pets age faster than humans, we recommend that healthy pets have a physical check-up once yearly, increasing to every six months as they reach geriatric age (usually age seven or older). Our veterinarians conduct very thorough examinations for every pet. We consider general health status, dental health, physical body condition, and record vital statistics. Our veterinarians will discuss any concerns or noted health changes with you, which helps to facilitate open communication regarding treatment and diagnostic testing during your visit. It is our goal to have respectful relationships with all of our clients, no matter the health stage of the patient, so we can work together to maintain happy, healthy pets.
