Wellness Exams

Whether you have a young or senior pet, an annual wellness exam is an important part of maintaining their health.

When you bring your pet in for their yearly check-up, the doctor will do a complete physical exam. This includes visual inspection of their eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, and gums; as well as their hair coat and skin, looking for external parasites, hair loss, and scaly skin. The doctor will palpate your pet’s lymph nodes to check for swelling and listen to their heart and lungs for abnormalities. The physical exam will end with the doctor palpating your pet’s bones and abdomen.

We suggest that when you bring your pet in for their exam, you also bring a fresh fecal sample. Having an annual fecal exam is a sure way to ensure your pet stays free of intestinal parasites. The most common intestinal parasite in cats and dogs is the roundworm, which is transmissible to humans. While we do carry Iverhart Max (a heartworm preventative for dogs that also treats and controls roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm infections when given monthly all year around) we do not have a similar medication for cats.

If you'd like to schedule this service, or you have questions, please contact us at (507) 732-7338.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to many veterinary clinics with a variety of animals, and this one is especially well-suited for livestock. The staff is straightforward, highly competent, and prepared for anything that walks through the door. I found the pricing fair and transparent. The treatment plan was clearly explained, allowing me to make informed decisions before committing one way or the other.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought in a goat to get a large horn scur wire-sawed off as it was causing injury to the buck. I have an expensive show herd and was nervous about biosecurity (since they are right next to an auction barn) but the vet and techs did a great job. She wore booties and was very considerate of my biosecurity concerns. I would definitely go here again.
