To keep your pet healthy and free of disease we recommend regular examinations. Kittens and puppies should start their examinations when you first acquire them to ensure that any congenital problems are addressed early on. This allows us to help you start your new relationship with the latest information on feeding, flea control, diets, housetraining, management and prevention of behavioural problems.

Adult dogs and cats (greater than 1 year of age should receive annual physical exams and senior pets should receive semi-annual physical examinations. Senior pets age rapidly and it is important to address concerns early because many aging problems can be very easily addressed. Diets, neutriceuticals and natural products are used by our doctors to keep patients feeling the best they can.

All our routine vaccinations start with a full physical exam. This most important step starts with the nose and ends with the tail; ears, skins, heart, lungs, gastro-intestinal system, urinary system and musculo-skeletal are all examined by our doctors during an examination. A full physical would not be possible without a full specific history from you, our client. We heavily rely on your input on how your pet is doing. We believe you are the best person to be able to pick up symptoms early and that your relationship with your pet is of utmost importance.

Stress and disease are linked so we include a behavioural history with our physical examinations. Most importantly, we work on making sure yours pets' experience at our clinic is as pleasant as possible for both of you. You will notice that everyone at our clinic is always ready with a healthy treat so that we can try to teach our patients that we are here to help.

Based on the findings on a physical, the doctors will advise you on the most effective ways to help your pet. Vaccine protocols, parasite programs, weight and nutrition programs and behavioural advice will be individually tailored to the needs of your pet. We also offer such additional services as blood collection, pedicures, and ear cleaning however we may need to schedule additional visits and time if we cannot address all your concerns.

The physical examination is one of our best screening and diagnostic tools used to assess the health of your pet. Our paramount concerns are disease prevention, maintaining quality of life, strengthening the human-animal bond and ensuring the physical and emotional well-being in our patients. We feel it is our privilege to help you help your special family members.
