The basis of all good medicine begins with the examination. While everyone at Jones Animal Hospital is a true animal lover and want to help every pet in need, we are bound by many federal and state laws. Thus, the need to schedule your pet for an appointment before offering any medical advice or treatment.
Examination... the heart of the veterinary visit. Many people believe the main reason to bring your pet in once a year is to administer vaccines… WRONG! Vaccines are a tool of preventive medicine, what begins the process is the annual examination. It is recommended to have a physical exam performed by a veterinarian on at least an annual basis. Jones Animal Hospital requires annual examinations of all pet species in order to prevent or treat many on-going health problems and in order to be in compliance of WSVMA and WAC guidelines. Many other pet species do not require annual vaccines, however, in order to perform any other services (nail or wing trims), we will require an annual exam. And, if you have not noticed, we feel so strongly regarding vaccination as a preventive care tool. When combined with your annual physical exam, we reward you by greatly discounting the exam. |
