Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my pet have a comprehensive physical exam?
We recommend annual comprehensive exams for healthy adult pets aged 1-7 years. Senior pets over 8 years should receive exams twice yearly, as age-related health issues can develop more rapidly.

What should I bring to my pet’s appointment?
Bring any current medications, recent medical records from other veterinarians, and a list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss. For new patients, vaccination records are especially helpful.

How long does a comprehensive physical exam take?
Most comprehensive exams take 30-45 minutes, allowing our veterinarians adequate time for thorough examination and discussion of findings with you.

Will my pet need additional tests during the exam?
Depending on your pet’s age, health status, and examination findings, we may recommend blood work, urinalysis, or other diagnostic tests to provide a complete health assessment.
