What does the veterinarian check for during a veterinary exam?
Our veterinarians conduct a nose-to-tail physical evaluation during a veterinary exam. It also includes:
- Inspecting your pet’s oral cavity, teeth, throat, and dental hygiene
- Inspecting the skin for infections and dermatological issues
- Checking your pet’s vision and eyes
- Inspecting ears for infection, ear mites, allergic reaction, and other related health issues
- Checking the functioning of your pet’s respiratory and cardiac function
- Looking for joint problems
How often should senior pets be brought in for a veterinary exam?
It is recommended that senior pets have a veterinary exam twice a year. Our veterinarians can help you understand how often your pet needs a veterinary exam based on a veterinary evaluation.
