Wellness Exams & Consultations

It’s always a good practice to have regular checkups with your doctor to ensure you are healthy and happy. The same is true for your pets. Regular vet exams keep your pet healthier and happier.

At Affordable Animal Hospital in Covina, exams and consultations are an important part of our goal to keep your pets healthy at an affordable price.

What to Expect at a Vet Exam?

A veterinary exam, like a checkup or physical, is an extensive health examination of your pet’s body systems, medical history, and mental or behavioral issues.

It’s not always obvious when an animal is in discomfort, and these exams allow us to take a closer look. Based on the results of the examination, our vets can give additional recommendations, ranging from diet changes to X-rays.

After the examination, our vets will speak with you about our recommendations for your pet. Exams and consultations are a good way to ensure your dog or cat has a long, healthy, happy life. Our staff is here to serve you and your pets, and provide the best experience at an affordable price.

Ask us any questions so we can help you with any issue of concern; we care about your pet and we are here to help.

X-Rays for Pets

If a person falls and the doctor suspects a broken bone they call for an X-ray. The same is true for our furry friends.

X-rays can be used to take a closer look at the internal systems, like the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and intestine as well as the bone structures of our pets.

At Affordable Animal Hospital in Covina, our vets will check for issues with:

  • Weight
  • Skin and coat
  • Symptoms of infections or growths
  • Joint pain
  • Skeletal health
  • Signs of virus or other illness
  • Lymph nodes
  • Neurological health
  • Signs of wounds
  • Vital signs

Pet Travel

If you are planning a trip with your pet it is important to schedule an exam before setting out on your journey. Many countries have strict regulations for traveling pets and specialized vaccinations may be required.

Additional testing may be required so plan your visit long before your travel date. Even state to state travel may require valid health certificates, especially when flying.

What are the benefits of X-rays for pet injuries?

If you have ever broken a bone, you will know that X-rays provide clear and accurate images for a precise diagnosis. X-ray technology is an important diagnostic tool for dogs and cats that have been injured or are suffering from various symptoms. It is a quick process that may require mild sedation but helps our veterinary doctor identify the problem.

If your pet needs a surgical procedure, the X-rays help to make the procedure faster, with less time needed under anesthetic for pet health and a faster recovery time.

X-rays are a great tool for ruling out issues when blood tests or urine tests aren’t effective, such as identifying the spread of infection. We want your pet to get the right treatment that is best for their recovery, and X-rays are one of the commonly used diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine.
