Wellness Exams

Did you know that animals require annual visits to the doctor just like humans?

Regular veterinary examinations help identify medical and behavioral problems before they present serious concerns for the health of your pet. Because pets age faster than humans, it could be argued that pets need these annual exams even more than their human counterparts.

Regular examinations help identify medical and behavioral problems before they present serious concerns for the health of your pet. Many diseases begin and progress subtly at first, and the changes in our pets may be imperceptible to those who see them every day. An annual exam will improve the quality and longevity of your pet’s life.
