How Do They Examine My Pet?

Why does my pet need a physical exam? Just as we see our doctor regularly to ensure that we are healthy, our pets need regular physical exams to ensure that we are doing everything we can to provide a long, healthy life. Unfortunately your pet cannot tell you when something doesn’t feel right and they often do not show symptoms until they are very ill. What does the veterinarian do during a physical exam? To the untrained eye, it may appear that the veterinarian is merely petting your companion during a physical exam. But in reality, the veterinarian is actually systematically observing, touching, smelling, and listening to specific body systems to ensure they are operating as well as they should. What if I do all of my own vaccinations? There is no reason why you cannot do your own vaccinations. However, there has been a trend toward over vaccinating and the annual exam provides a great opportunity to discuss what your pet actually needs. It also provides a great opportunity to discuss heartworm prevention, flea and tick control, nutritional recommendations, dental recommendations and much more. If it has been over a year since your cat or dog' last physical exam, give us a call at 707-462-8833 to schedule an appointment at Mendocino Animal Hospital with one of our veterinarians in Ukiah, Ca. www.mendocinoanimalhospital.net
