A Comprehensive Look at Your Pet’s Health

Thorough Evaluation:
- From Nose to Tail: Our veterinarians conduct a meticulous head-to-toe assessment, examining your pet’s eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, and gums.
- Vital Signs: We monitor your pet’s vital signs, listening to their heart for abnormal sounds or rhythms and evaluating their lung function.
- Abdominal Assessment: We palpate your pet’s abdomen, checking for any masses or signs of discomfort, ensuring their internal health.
- Skin and Coat: Our team inspects the skin for any growths, external parasites, or other dermatological conditions that require attention.
- Orthopedic and Neurological Assessment: If your pet is experiencing lameness or discomfort, our veterinarians can perform a complete orthopedic and neurological examination.
