Every visit to the vet, no matter the reason, starts with a full consult for one simple reason: your pet won’t tell you when something’s wrong. 🐾
Pets hide pain, discomfort, and early illness incredibly well. A consult lets your vet pick up quiet clues you can’t see at home: changes in breathing, heart rhythm, gum colour, skin and coat condition, eye pressure, hydration, posture, and subtle behaviour shifts that often reveal issues long before symptoms appear.
Even when you come in for something routine, the consult is the most important part of the visit. It’s how we catch early kidney disease, heart problems, infections, allergies, arthritis, hormonal changes and more, often months before they become serious.
A few minutes of hands-on examination can completely change the course of your pet’s health.
That’s why the consult is never “just a check.” It is the foundation of good veterinary care and the most powerful tool we have to keep your pet healthy for years to come.
