Examinations of your pet is the most important thing that can be done to prevent problems. Your pet ages approximately 7 years for every human year so a thorough exam last year would therefore be equivalent to 7 years ago. Since your pet can't tell you how they feel or where it hurts, we recommend a complete and thorough exam, nose to tail, every 6 months (equivalent to every 3.5 years for us) where the doctor checks their eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, lymphatic system, heart, lungs, musculoskeletal system, abdomen and internal organs, skin, hair coat, and many other things along the way. 

Our veterinarians are specially trained to examine and interpret the findings in order to make recommendations for your pet's continued health. Early detection of illness or underlying disease will not only protect your pet, it will also save you money in the long run!
