Pet Examination and Our Pet Care

As your pet ages, you’ll notice changes in his behavior, activity level, and health. Your once frisky kit or pup may start to slow down or mellow out. Through routine pet exams, you and a vet on our veterinary team can keep better track of your pet’s health so he can continue living a high quality of life. If you live in Pleasanton, CA or nearby communities, you can bring your pet to us at Animal Medical Center of Pleasanton, your local animal clinic, for a pet health exam. 

What to Expect from a Pet Exam

Typical wellness exams at our animal clinic might consist of:

• Physical examination: We’ll inspect your pet’s body for abnormalities and may check his skin and coat for signs of infection or disease. We might palpate his              abdomen for signs of problems with internal organs and may check his joints for arthritis. We might also listen to his heart and lungs.
• Vaccinations: If your pet needs booster shots, we’ll update his vaccinations at this time.
• Nutritional counseling: Depending on your pet’s age or weight, we may recommend adjustments to his diet to enhance his overall health.  

To ensure your furry friend receives the personalized care he needs, we tailor our wellness services to suit your pet’s age, health, and breed, including puppy care, kitten care, and senior pet care services where there’s a need.

Importance of Pet Health Exams

Pet exams help a vet on our veterinary team catch health problems as they’re developing to keep them from escalating into major issues later on. The sooner health problems are detected, the sooner your pet can receive treatment to get back on his feet. Your pet can avoid unnecessary pain and you can avoid lengthy, costly treatments. Early diagnosis and treatment of health problems could even save your pet’s life.

Routine pet exams can also prevent health problems by alerting your vet to dietary, behavioral, or lifestyle habits that can be detrimental to your pet’s health. Through parasite control, vaccinations, nutritional counseling and other wellness services, your pet can avoid health issues that can lower his quality of life.

When it comes to puppy care and kitten care, routine exams can help ensure your pet is growing and developing as he should to avoid problems in his adult years. Routine pet exams can help your pet enjoy better health and wellness at every stage of his life.
