During this physical our veterinarian will listen to your pet's heart & lungs, examine his/her eyes, ears, & mouth, and give some thorough petting while evaluating his/her abdomen, joints, and skin/coat. The doctor will address day to day care (diet/lifestyle, etc) and any questions or concerns you have. Typically during this visit the veterinarian will administer individual pet vaccination protocols, fecal exams for parasites, heartworm tests, routine blood panels to monitor internal organ function, implant identification microchip, and help you provide for your pet’s routine preventative care based on your pet’s individual needs.
Comprehensive Examination
Thorough exam from tip of the nose to end of the tail. All cats and dogs need regular annual/bi-annual physical examinations.
