Routine Vitals
Check out this reference guide to know what is "normal" for your animals. Should you have to call us for an appointment, especially for a sick animal, we'll want to have as much information as possible! If you're unsure on how to gather any of these vitals, definitely schedule a routine wellness appointment and our doctors can guide you to be better prepared!
