Veterinary Exam

Pets age much faster than humans, but they also hide their pain very well. Even though your pet appears healthy – and most likely is – it is important to book routine annual checkups with the vet to ensure there are no underlying health issues. With these exams, we can detect issues at their early stages and get them started on a treatment right away before it becomes too late. Call us at 519-653-1003 to book an appointment!

My pet seems fine, do they really need a routine veterinary exam?

Even though your pet seems fine, it is extremely important to get routine checkups every year. During that time, many things can change and it's imperative your veterinarian is aware of these developments. An annual checkup will allow us to detect any health problems early on before it progresses into something serious and/or life-threatening. Senior pets on the other hand should be seen every 6 months.

What does a veterinary exam entail for my pet?

Our wellness exams give us the opportunity to gather as much information about your pet's current health status so we can obtain a complete medical history. We will perform a complete physical examination from nose to tail. At times, we may include lab work (blood, fecal, or urine samples), imaging diagnostics, or other diagnostic procedures. We will also discuss preventative care, including vaccinations, deworming, parasite control, weight management, and many more.
