We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets in Corpus Christi. Our evaluations include head-to-tail assessments, covering critical areas such as the ears, eyes, abdomen, joints, skin, and organ health to detect early signs of disease, identify discomfort, or catch developing conditions. Early detection is key to your pet's long-term health, and we prioritize a comprehensive approach to ensure nothing is overlooked.

We offer all Core Vaccinations essential for protecting your pets from serious diseases, including rabies, canine distemper, parvovirus, and feline panleukopenia/viral rhinotracheitis/calicivirus (for cats).

Immediate results allow us to act quickly and provide targeted care for your pet.

We offer Urinalysis services as part of our diagnostic testing, allowing us to evaluate your pet’s urine for signs of urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, crystals (bladder stones), or metabolic imbalances.

We provide Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, or tapeworms in your pet's stool. Early detection through testing allows us to safely and effectively treat parasites, preventing discomfort, malnutrition, or the transmission of zoonotic diseases to you and your family.

We use advanced Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose internal conditions affecting your pet’s bones, organs, heart, and lungs in minutes.

Convenient and precise, our X-rays help us plan the best treatment for your pet’s comfort.

We conduct Ultrasound Imaging to explore deeper structures within your pet’s body without invasive procedures, offering a non-invasive way to examine the heart, abdomen, reproductive organs, and more. This diagnostic tool helps us detect masses, fluid buildup, pregnancy, or other abnormalities, allowing us to provide targeted care, monitor conditions, and guide surgical decisions with greater precision.

We offer EKG / ECG (Heart Monitoring) to assess your pet’s heart function and detect irregularities including heart rate, rhythm, and structural concerns. Symptoms like weakness, coughing, or exercise intolerance can prompt this essential heart test, allowing us to diagnose underlying issues such as arrhythmias, murmurs, or enlarged heart chambers. With early detection, we can recommend treatments to enhance your pet’s quality of life.
