We are committed to giving your pet the best possible care. Although we offer a variety of alternative treatment options, we find that sometimes traditional medical becomes necessary and in the best interest of your pet. We will provide the best of all treatment options in order to help your pet. We always start with a complete physical exam – please see below for more detailed options.

Wellness Exams

Physical exams are important for pets of all ages. Young pets need to be checked for proper weight, growth, and development. Pets age much more quickly than humans do. By age two, many pets have almost reached adulthood. At age four they are entering middle age, and by age seven many dogs are entering their senior years. We recommend exams every 6 months to keep your pet in optimal health and detect health problems early. Our exams include checking teeth, ears, eyes, heart, lungs, abdomen, muscles, joints, and skin. In addition, we will do, if indicated, blood work, x-rays, blood pressure, or ultrasound diagnostics.

Sick pet exams

Whenever your pet is showing symptoms, we are here to help with diagnosis and treatments. In addition to a complete physical exam, we will perform any necessary diagnostics such as bloodwork or x-rays.

Emergencies

We are here to help whenever your pet has a sudden injury or illness. During regular office hours, please call our office first so that we know to expect you. If you have an after hour’s emergency, please view our list of quality referral clinics on the Client Center page.

New client exams

We provide more than most clinics to all of our new clients, including:

• A complete historical review, including past medical records, diet and vaccine history.
• Dietary recommendations specific for your pet
• We provide a vaccine recommendations based on your pets needs and risk of exposure
• Behavioral advice if needed, including referrals to qualified trainers and behaviorists
• A complete physical exam

In addition, we allow adequate time to answer all of your questions about your pet’s care. For more details, please visit the Client Center page.

Holistic consults

This is a special exam for pets that have been seen by another veterinarian and you are looking for alternative treatment options. We charge a bit more for this exam due to the time involved in reviewing records, contacting former veterinarians if needed, and discussing treatment protocols.

It is very helpful if we can receive past records 72 hours prior to the visit so the doctor has adequate time to review them prior to your visit. You can fax or e-mail directly, or we are happy to contact your other veterinarians on your behalf to request the records transfer.
