Bringing your pet to Anderson Veterinary Clinic for physical examinations is crucial to their health. We offer thorough physical examinations to detect any potential problems ahead of time. Many pet health problems can be avoided through regular physical exams, so we recommend that your pet have at least two yearly examinations with our staff. While physical exams are critical to animal health, you can do your part by being a vigilant pet owner.

What exactly does a physical exam include? Some things you can’t see, feel, touch, or hear without special tests and equipment, but you can often gain a lot of information about your pet through simple observation. In a physical exam, your veterinarian looks for anything abnormal. What is considered normal is a combination of what is typical for the breed and what is normal for your specific unique pet. Every pet is slightly different, just like every human is different. Once the veterinarian does the basic physical exam, any areas of concern will be given more attention.
