Once a year, or twice yearly for a senior pet, you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam, including checking general health, ears, eyes, skin, mouth and teeth, and other body systems. Our doctor will check the health of your pet from head to tail!

Bring in any medical history you have of your pet when you come to our vet clinic. It’s best to keep a journal of your pet’s health throughout his or her life, including behavioral shifts. If you have something like this, share it with our team. If not, let us know everything that you think will be important. We will work with whatever information you currently have.

In some circumstances, our doctors’ will refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as internal medicine, dermatology, ophthalmology, or surgery.
