Physical exams are conducted at well visits and sick visits. A well visit physical is important to establish a baseline of your pet’s ‘normal’. Generally, the care team will discuss your pet’s behavior, routine, and care to make recommendations for vaccines, preventative medications, weight management, or other care options. A typical exam also checks your pet’s general body condition, muscling, hair coat and skin, eyes, ears, mouth and teeth, heart, lungs, extremities, and abdomen.
A sick exam helps the care team investigate your concerns and look for abnormalities in the aforementioned areas.

We offer vaccinations for dogs and cats. At your visit, the care team can discuss which vaccines are recommended for your pet based on their history and current condition. If your pet is scheduled in for a sick visit, you may have to return at another date for vaccinations.
In Delaware it is state law that pets be vaccinated for rabies unless medically exempt.

We offer wellness screening labs, pre-operative labs, and diagnostic labwork.

Other diagnostics available besides labwork includes radiographs, ultrasounds, and more.

We schedule surgeries for established clients by appointment only. We perform routine surgeries such as spays and neuters. We also perform other surgeries such as dental cleanings, lump removals, biopsies, and other procedures. Potential surgical cases are evaluated on a case by case basis during your visit.

If you and your care team decide to refer to another hospital such as a specialty hospital, we can help facilitate sharing medical records or any forms as needed.

A staff appointment scheduled for an established patient will not see a doctor at that appointment. The staff is unable to diagnose, prescribe, or order treatments. If you have medical concerns or questions please text in with as much prior notice as possible so your appointment can be rescheduled to a visit with the doctor if needed.
