Once a year, you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam and vaccinations as needed. Based on the physical exam further recommendations can be made such as heartworm testing, wellness profiles and teeth cleanings. Drs. Gordon, Mendoza and Foster will check the health of your pet from head to tail, and you will be very happy you came to Emporia Veterinary Hospital for service.
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.
In some circumstances, referrals to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as internal medicine or surgery will be recommended.
