Our standard wellness exams include a comprehensive physical examination, vital sign assessment, and detailed health discussion. Contact our office for current pricing information, as rates may vary based on additional services needed during the visit.

Does pet insurance cover general vet visits?

Many pet insurance plans do cover general veterinary visits, though coverage varies by provider and policy type. Some plans cover routine preventive care, while others focus on unexpected illnesses and injuries. We recommend reviewing your specific policy details or contacting your insurance provider to understand your coverage for general veterinary care.

What do vets do after general observation?

Following a general observation, our veterinarians compile their findings and develop a comprehensive health assessment.
