Pet Examinations and Pet Health Checkup

Did you know the majority of health issues of household animals have no obvious symptoms?

Despite appearing in good health, pets can also be good at hiding pain, leading to the impression that all is well. For that reason, it is extremely important your pet is receiving regular pet health checks to ensure they’re healthy and happy, and to promote early detection of any health issues.

Regular check ups of your pet’s teeth and dental care will spot the early signs of dental disease, and examinations of your pet’s skin and your pet’s weight will flag up any potential health problems that may be developing. Additional treatment such as removal of tartar build up, dietary plans, medication for intestinal parasites, a weight check or other veterinary care may be recommended as a result of the examination.

Most pets will likely have no issues, but treating early detection of any issues could save your furry friend’s life.

Here at Elm House Vets we see a number of patients every week for their annual health check. This allows us to monitor their development and make sure they’re not at risk of developing any harmful conditions.

When you bring your pet to see us they will be examined from nose to tail, with particular attention being paid to their eyes, ears, teeth, skin, claws and coat. They will then have their heart, lungs and respiration rate listened to, before having their abdomen checked for any abnormalities.
