We provide a complete evaluation of all organ functions during your pet’s visit to Pet Friends. We examine for the following conditions:
- Dental disease
- Weight problems
- Ear/skin infections
- Heart murmurs
- Skin tumours
- Cataracts
- Aching joints
- Flea/tick/tapeworm infestations
If not addressed, several of these problems could cause significant discomfort to your pet or even lead to fatality. Nevertheless, all of the aforementioned health issues can be successfully managed or treated if detected early. Therefore, reach out to Pet Friends to arrange a wellness examination for your beloved pet.
Lab Screening
After the physical examination, your vet will discuss with you the necessary lab tests for your pet. The tests recommended will depend on factors such as your pet's age, breed, lifestyle, and the results of the physical exam.
In addition to the physical and lab results, your vet will also take into account your pet's lifestyle, diet, medications, and vaccination history. It's important to talk about any behavioral issues your pet may be having during wellness exams, as these could be linked to an underlying health issue. If your pet is healthy, your vet will offer advice on how to address and manage any behavioral problems your pet may be facing.
How often should routine health check-ups be done?
The frequency of routine health check-ups needed for your pet is determined based on their age, breed, lifestyle, diet, and medical history. Typically, younger pets (under seven years old) need annual health check-ups, while older pets (over seven years old) should receive bi-annual health check-ups (twice a year). There may be a need for more frequent check-ups for pets with potentially serious health conditions.
