Your pet's initial exam includes a thorough health assessment to check their overall well-being. We will record their weight, temperature, and heart rate, and listen to their lungs and heart. We will also review their medical history and vaccination records and discuss any concerns you may have. We suggest lab tests to ensure your pet receives the best care from the beginning.

Wellness exams allow us to identify early signs of health issues, making treatment more effective and preventing more serious conditions. During the visit we check your pet's overall health, give vaccinations, and offer advice on diet, exercise, and preventive care.
Sudden changes in behavior or appetite can be a sign of a health problem. It's best to have your pet examined by a veterinarian promptly. Addressing these changes early can prevent more serious health problems.

Pets are generally considered senior around 7 years old, though this varies by breed and size. Smaller breeds tend to age more slowly than larger ones. Regular senior wellness exams are essential for monitoring health and detecting age-related issues early.
Senior pets should visit the vet at least every six months. These check-ups allow us to detect early signs of common issues such as arthritis, dental problems, and organ changes. Regular exams ensure your pet enjoys their golden years with comfort and vitality.
You can maintain dental health by regularly brushing their teeth, offering dental chews, and scheduling professional cleanings. Check their teeth regularly for signs of tartar or gum disease. We'll provide guidance on caring for your pet's teeth between visits.
Recovery time varies by procedure and individual patient. Most soft tissue surgeries have a 10–14 day recovery period. Orthopedic procedures may require 6–12 weeks of restricted activity. We provide detailed discharge instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing.
Yes, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and ultrasounds can detect early signs of cancer, which is vital for effective treatment. We also offer the HT Vista Cancer Check blood test, which can detect cancer-associated proteins before clinical signs develop.
