When you take care of your pet, they will live longer and happier. Regular check-ups with your veterinarian and vaccinations are key to keeping them healthy!
A regular physical is an important part of your pet’s health care. Having a physical exam performed on your pet at least once a year is a great way to make sure they are healthy. Regular physical exams and vaccinations can help prevent many serious diseases in pets.
In addition, Kingsdale Animal Hospital has a wide range of supplies so that you may pamper your pet! We carry many West Paw Design® beds and toys -- Ecofriendly and durable products.
We also carry many brands of maintenance (puppy, adult, senior dog foods) and therapeutic (prescription diets) to cater to the specific, individual needs of your pet. Brands include: Royal Canin®, Prescription Hills® and Purina®. In the event we do not carry a specific food you are interested in or that you require, we may easily special order that for you.
Your Kingsdale veterinarian will ask you specific questions and examine the following areas to assess your pets overall health:
Temperature, pulse, respiration rate and body weight
Ears and eyes
Gums, teeth, tongue, and palate
Listen to the heart and lungs
Condition of the skin and hair
Abdominal and organ palpation
Legs and feet
Condition of joints, muscles, lymph nodes, and nose
In addition to the Annual Health Exam, your Kingsdale veterinarian will review your pet’s vaccination history and through a careful risk assessment, will booster any required vaccinations at that time.
Because your pet ages more quickly than you do, it is essential that you take your pet to the veterinarian at least once a year and even more frequently as your pet gets older. Your Kingsdale veterinarian will recommend an appropriate examination schedule for your pet.
Should you require an appointment or have any questions, please contact us for further details.
