Our pets are family. Each day we see them grow, learn and play. At South Davis Veterinary Center our staff recognizes the special bond you share with your pet. Every day is a gift and through high quality medicine we help ensure that there are many more days to come. Yearly wellness examinations help us better get to know you and your pet, identify and discuss problems and plan for a heathy future.  We recommend biannual (twice-yearly) examinations for senior pets as they often have health issues which need regular monitoring.

One of our technicians will bring you and your pet into a room and obtain information about diet, current medications and any concerns you would like to discuss with the veterinarian. We will check your pet’s weight, body temperature, heartrate and respiration and then one of our veterinarians perform a thorough “nose to tail” physical exam. Our goal is to detect any potential diseases or underlining conditions. We often recommend regular comprehensive lab work that includes checking organ function and testing for internal parasites such as heartworm and tick-borne diseases. We will also recommend year-round parasite control as it is much easier to prevent that to treat an active infestation.
