Once a year, you should take your adult pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam, where Dr. DeLong will check the health of your pet from head to tail. Pediatric and senior pets may require mulitple exams per year to ensure their best health. Each puppy and kitten will be given a custom exam protocal to fit their specific needs. Senior pets often require annual bloodwork to assist in maintaining healthy internal organs.
Bring in any medical history you have of your pet when you come to our vet clinic. It's best to keep a journal of your pet's health throughout his or her life, including behavioral shifts. If you have something like this, share it with our team. If not, let us know everything that you think will be important. Dr. DeLong can work with whatever information you have.
In some circumstances, Dr. DeLong will refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as internal medicine or surgery.
