Physical Exams for Dogs and Cats

A thorough physical exam is the starting point for understanding your pet’s health. During each exam, our veterinarian assesses your pet from nose to tail, examining the eyes, ears, mouth, lymph nodes, heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, coat, joints, and neurological responses. Annual exams are recommended for healthy adult pets and more frequent visits for seniors or pets managing ongoing conditions. We use exam findings to guide recommendations for bloodwork, imaging, and other assessments. Early detection through regular physical exams is one of the most effective tools available for keeping your pet well for as long as possible.

Dermatology and Skin Care

Skin conditions are among the most common reasons pets visit a veterinarian. Allergies, infections, parasites, immune disorders, and hormonal imbalances can all affect your pet’s skin and coat. We assess skin concerns through physical examination, skin scraping, cytology, and allergy testing to identify the root cause rather than only addressing surface symptoms. Personalized care plans may include veterinary products, changes to diet, and environmental management. Resolving chronic skin discomfort significantly improves your pet’s quality of life. If your pet is scratching, losing fur, or developing skin lesions, book a dermatology appointment promptly.

Gastroenterology and Digestive Health

Digestive disorders are uncomfortable for your pet and can escalate quickly without proper care. We assess and manage conditions including inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, gastritis, colitis, and food sensitivities. Our approach includes physical examination, bloodwork, fecal testing, and imaging as indicated. Dietary management plays a central role in many gastrointestinal conditions, and we work closely with you to implement practical feeding plans. If your pet has recurring vomiting, diarrhea, reduced appetite, or changes in stool, a gastroenterology appointment allows us to get to the root of the problem and provide targeted relief.

Nephrology and Urology

Kidney and urinary tract health is vital to your pet’s long-term wellbeing. We assess and manage kidney disease, urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and urinary obstructions. Our approach includes urinalysis, blood chemistry evaluation, blood pressure monitoring, and imaging. Early detection of kidney disease allows us to intervene with dietary support and medical management that significantly slows progression. Urinary obstructions in male cats require urgent same-day care and can be life-threatening if not addressed promptly. We encourage annual urinalysis as part of senior wellness care for pets seven years and older.
