So you just got a new pet. Congratulations! Along with all of the new joys that come with pet ownership, one important thing to keep in mind is that your furry friend needs to see a veterinarian. He needs routine check-ups and preventive care. Since you're new to this, our team at Chino Hills Parkway Pet Hospital is glad to share with you what you can expect from your puppy or kitten's first exam.
Pet Information and History
The first thing we will do is get some basic information from you about your pet. This includes his age, weight, what kind of food he is eating, and any current concerns or problems you may be noticing. We will also ask about his vaccination history. If your pet is up to date on his vaccinations, great! If not, we will recommend a schedule to get him caught up.
Next, we will ask you about your pet's lifestyle. Does he live inside or outside? How much exercise does he get? Does he have any known allergies? This information helps us better understand your pet's overall health and any potential risks he may face.
Physical Examination
After we have gathered all of this information, we will perform a physical examination. We will check his weight and temperature, palpate his abdomen, and listen to his heart and lungs. We may also recommend additional tests, depending on what we find during the physical examination.
Healthcare Plan
We will then work with you to create a personalized health care plan for your pet. This may include vaccinations, routine blood work, dietary recommendations, and more. We will also discuss any concerns and answer any questions you may have about your pet's health.
