Your pet's annual vet check-up will include a total physical exam, with a thorough investigation of your pet's head, body and tail, and all his assorted cavities. Because even the most cooperative pet may not readily go-along with a tooth and gum brushing, an annual cleaning by your veterinarian maybe in order. Like you, your pet can lose his teeth due to decay and neglect. It's a good idea to keep an accurate medical diary not only of the procedures and vaccinations your pet receives at the vet, but also of notes on things like your pet's elimination habits and any physical changes or unusual occurrences. Keep track of small shifts in your pet's behavior, including urinary marking habits and mood swings, along with diet and routine modifications. Take this notebook when you visit the vet. These seemingly unrelated occurrences may help explain results of your pet's medical tests. Also, if you need to change vets, it's good to have this journal to provide a complete medical history.
At Skye Ridge Veterinary Hospital, we hope to provide a calm, compassionate environment that both you and your pet can feel comfortable in. We understand that a veterinary hospital isn’t the most relaxing place for your pet so we make every attempt to explain everything that will be going on during your visit. If there is anything we can do to accommodate your pet in a specific way, please ask us.
While Skye Ridge Veterinary Hospital endeavors to provide all your preventative care and routine procedures, there may be some specialty care that we do not perform here. From time to time, this may require a referral to a local surgeon or specialty center which we will provide you with different options as needed.
