Just like people, cats and dogs need regular wellness exams to stay happy and healthy. Annual visits are the best way to catch health changes early, when they're often easier and less costly to manage. During your pet's yearly checkup, our veterinary team will:
- Performa nose-to-tail physical exam to check overall health
- Listen to the heart and lungs
- Examine the eyes, ears, teeth, skin, and coat
- Check your pet's weight and body condition
- Review vaccination needs detailed to the pet's daily life, parasite prevention, and nutrition
Dental care is an important part of your pet's overall wellness. At each checkup, we examine your pet's teeth and gums for signs of tartar buildup, gingivitis, or oral disease. Left untreated, dental problems can lead to pain, infection, and even impact the heart, kidneys, and liver. Depending on what we find, we may recommend:
- Routine dental cleanings under anesthesia for thorough care
- Non-anesthetic dental options in certain cases
- Referral to a dental specialist for advanced procedures
