Why the Pet Health Exam?
An annual visit to your Diamond Bar emergency veterinary hospital isn’t just about emergencies. We provide complete wellness care for pets of all kinds. The advantage of coming to see us every year is that we check all aspects of your pet’s health in a single visit, which enables us to find any hidden and/or dangerous health issues.
What Happens During the Pet Health Exam?
First, and most important, we treat every pet with the utmost care and compassion in order to sooth their anxiety. Our next step is to work with you to discuss your pet’s lifestyle. Some questions include: where do they spend most of their time indoors or outdoors, what is their diet comprised of, are they very active or more sedentary? Another all-important question is, what vaccinations has your pet received and when? We believe that the proper vaccinations for your pet will ensure a disease-free, long and healthy life. All of this information begins the all-important baseline for your pet’s future health care.
The Physical Part of Your Pet’s Health Exam
We do a complete physical exam on your pet, the results of which are also critical in establishing the baseline health picture. We listening to the heart and lungs, check your pet’s vision, look into the ears, and palpitate the abdomen. In addition, we look at your pet’s range of motion, check his or her reflexes, as well as assess the health of the joints. Finally, we check for suspicious lumps and perform a visual check of the teeth and gums.
For Senior Pets
As a result of advances in veterinary science, our pets are living longer, healthier lives. Therefore, we have some additional recommendations for the annual examination including a full blood panel to check for diseases such as cancer, kidney issues and heart and liver diseases. When we catch these things early, we can work with you to effectively manage your pet’s condition.

The annual health exam gives us the chance to continue developing the overall picture of your pet’s health. We work with you as a team in providing nutritional counseling that suits your pet’s lifestyle, develop a suitable vaccination plan, and deal with any problems before they become serious health issues.
