Q: Why is a semi-annual physical examination for my pet so important?

A: Because our pets age so much more rapidly than we do, we cannot over-emphasize the importance of a semi-annual (every six months) comprehensive physical examination. 

During a comprehensive physical examination, our doctors assess the following on your pet:  cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, urinary and reproductive systems, central nervous system, eyes, ears, skin, coat, mouth, teeth, gums, and weight.
