Medical Assessment

Full nose-to-tail exams to keep your pet’s health on track

We hope to see your pet at least once a year for a full nose-to-tail exam so that we can have a great baseline of their overall health over time. This information also helps us when they’re not feeling their best.

To ensure a proper diagnosis, we often need to examine your pet. We begin a medical assessment by looking at your pet’s eyes, ears, and skin and checking his or her cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and skeletal systems for any abnormalities. We will perform blood and/or urine tests as necessary to check your pet’s kidneys, liver, pancreas, and endocrine system, including the thyroid and adrenal glands. Based on your pet’s condition, we may recommend further diagnostic tests, such as radiography (X-rays), endoscopy (internal scoping), ultrasound, or biopsy.

We are fully equipped to diagnose, treat, and help your pet get back to feeling their best.
