Pet Health Assessment

Keeping Your Pet Healthy Through Regular Assessment

Regular health assessments play an important role in maintaining your pet’s overall well-being. At Pet Palace Veterinary Clinic, our health assessments are designed to evaluate your pet from nose to tail and identify signs of illness, injury, discomfort, or other health concerns.

We consider your pet’s physical health along with their individual needs and overall well-being. When appropriate, additional diagnostic tests may also be recommended to provide a more complete understanding of your pet’s health.

Complete Health Assessment for Your Pet

A thorough evaluation helps our veterinary team understand your pet’s current health and identify concerns that may require attention.

Physical Examination

A thorough physical examination helps evaluate your pet’s overall condition and identify signs of illness, injury, discomfort, or other abnormalities.

Eyes, Ears & Nose Check

Your pet’s eyes, ears, and nose are carefully examined for signs of infection, inflammation, irritation, or other potential concerns.

Mouth, Teeth & Gums

Examination of the mouth, teeth, and gums helps identify possible oral health concerns and signs of infection or inflammation.

Heart & Lung Assessment

Listening to your pet’s heart and lungs forms an important part of a comprehensive health examination.

Abdominal Examination

Careful examination of the abdomen can help the veterinary team identify physical changes or areas that may require further investigation.

Skin & Coat Examination

The skin and coat are examined for abnormalities that may indicate irritation, infection, or other health concerns.

Diagnostic Testing

When required, tests such as blood work, urinalysis, or imaging may be recommended to provide additional information about your pet’s health.

Preventive Health Planning

Based on the assessment, your veterinary team can provide guidance relating to preventive care, nutrition, exercise, and your pet’s individual health needs.
