Physical Exam

Regular physical exams for dogs and cats are crucial for maintaining their health and well-being. These exams, conducted by a veterinarian, are essential for early detection of illness or disease, allowing for prompt treatment and ensuring that pets are healthy enough to receive necessary vaccines. During the exam, various vital signs and body systems are assessed, including weight, temperature, heart rate, breathing, eyes, ears, skin, mouth, teeth, and abdomen. Additionally, veterinarians may conduct blood tests or other diagnostic procedures and recommend preventive measures such as vaccinations or parasite control. By prioritizing routine physical exams, pet owners can play a proactive role in safeguarding their furry companions' health and happiness for the long term.
