At Silicon Valley Pet in Santa Clara, we understand that your dog's health and well-being are of utmost importance to you. Regular veterinary exams play a crucial role in ensuring that your furry friend stays happy and healthy throughout their life. Whether you have a playful puppy or a beloved senior dog, scheduling routine exams with a veterinarian near you is essential for proactive pet care.
The Importance of Dog and Puppy Exams
Regular dog and puppy exams are vital for monitoring your pet's overall health and detecting any potential issues early on. During these appointments, our veterinarians conduct a thorough physical examination to assess your dog's overall condition, including their weight, body condition, coat and skin health, dental health, and more. These exams also provide an opportunity to discuss your pet's diet, exercise routine, behavior, and any concerns you may have.
What To Expect During a Dog or Puppy Exam
When you bring your dog or puppy to Silicon Valley Pet for an exam, you can expect a warm welcome from our caring team. Your veterinarian will begin by reviewing your pet's medical history and discussing any specific concerns or observations you have noticed. The physical examination will then proceed, focusing on various aspects of your dog's health, such as:
- Checking vital signs, including heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature
- Examining the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth for signs of infection or other abnormalities
- Palpating the abdomen to assess organ function and detect any lumps or abnormalities
- Evaluating joint mobility and muscle tone
- Assessing overall demeanor and behavior
Promoting Preventive Care
In addition to the physical examination, your veterinarian may recommend preventive measures such as vaccinations, parasite control, dental care, and nutrition counseling based on your dog's individual needs. These proactive measures are essential for maintaining your dog's health and preventing common health issues.
