Comprehensive Small Animal Physical Exams

What to Expect During a Comprehensive Exam

During a comprehensive small animal physical exam in Crystal Lake, IL, our veterinarians perform a thorough assessment of your pet’s overall health. The exam includes:

• General Health Evaluation: We check your pet’s weight, temperature, and overall condition.
