Once a year, every pet should have a Preventative Care Exam. This will include a full physical exam, (nose to tail!) and should include core vaccines, heartworm and fecal testing and parasite prevention. Pets over 7 years of age benefit from routine blood screening to detect internal illness. We will check the health of your pet from head to tail, ears to paws and you will be very happy you came to the Glendale Animal Hospital for service.
Bring in any medical history you have of your pet when you come to our hospital. 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. We can still work with whatever information you have.
In rare circumstances when we cannot help your pet, we will refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as internal medicine or surgery.
