Veterinary Exams
Regular veterinary exams are the cornerstone of your pet’s health. Unlike most of us, our loyal companions cannot just simply tell us if they are feeling unwell. Dogs and cats also have a natural instinct to hide their pain to show as little vulnerability as possible. We know life gets busy and so we do our best to book you in for a convenient time and conduct the exams as efficiently as possible. Call us at 613.695.2060 to learn more.
Why are veterinary exams so important?
They help us diagnose many health problems early on so your pet can stay as comfortable, healthy and pain-free as possible. This way, we can provide the appropriate treatment right away, which will save you time and money in the long-run and prevent your pet from experiencing worsened symptoms.

How often should I take my pet for a vet exam?
