One on One Attention

One of our friendly exam room assistants will greet you and your pet in the reception area and remain with both of you through your entire visit.   They will help you receive the answers to your questions, to cuddle your pet through the exam, to provide information on doctor findings or recommendations.  This assistant is here to make your visit both pleasant and informative as possible.

The Nose-to-Tail Exam

We will need to know as much as we can about your pet to enable us to know what your pet needs and does not need.  We will want to know what type of foods and treats your pet eats, where your pet visits geographically  and what type of exercise and activities your pet participates in.  One of our veterinarians will perform a comprehensive nose-to-tail examination.  We believe a thorough exam is essential in keeping your pet healthy.  In addition, we often recommend early detection blood work to help us discover and treat problems in the early stages, before they become serious and possibly life threatening.  At Stack Veterinary Hospital, we strongly believe that optimum health for your pet can only be achieved when the pet's owner/guardian and veterinarian work together to serve the pet's best interest.

Exam Room Goals

During your pet's annual wellness examination, we will work with you to develop a wellness plan that fits with your lifestyle to keep your pet healthy, active and comfortable for as long as possible.  If the focus of your visit is illness or injury, we will thoroughly explain all diagnostics and treatments recommended and why.  Pain control will always be addressed and included in your pet's treatment plan.
