Health Examinations

Regular check-ups and physical examinations are important in keeping your pet happy and healthy. Even though your pet may not appear to be sick or unwell, a thorough physical examination and medical history can detect early problems which can be addressed promptly. Having regular check-ups also allows our vets to monitor any changes that may occur over the life of your pet. We recommend at least an annual check-up for your pet. As your pet reaches their senior years we recommend twice yearly visits. 

Common problems detected during consultations include:

• dental disease
• weight problems
• skin conditions
• heart murmurs
• skin tumours
• arthritis
• abdominal tumours
• eye conditions

If you are concerned about any problems with your pet or would like to have a check-up please contact Heritage Vet Clinic on 03 9386 1501.
