12- Body Systems Examinations

Because pets age seven years for every one of humans, they are on a faster path toward illness than humans. Pets can not speak to communicate how they feel and many pets mask or hide their illness from us, therefore only an experienced veterinarian can determine the state of wellness in your loved one through a complete 12 body systems exam. The frequency of these examinations is dependant on the health status and life stage of your pet.

Twice yearly recommendation

We recommend twice yearly examinations on all healthy adult pets. Yearly examinations are recommended for rabies immunization and required for all other immunizations.

Three times yearly recommendation

We recommend a physical examination three times a year on all senior (7 and older) pets.

Four times yearly recommendation

We recommend a physical examination four times a year on all pets on chronic medication or are showing signs of illness secondary to chronic disease such as heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes and any other progressive disease.
