We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages to assess overall health, detect early signs of illness, and establish a baseline for ongoing care. Our exams include evaluations of teeth/oral cavity, eyes, ears, skin, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, and nervous system. We also document lumps, bumps, or abnormalities and discuss recommendations for further diagnostics if needed.
