The pet will receive a thorough physical exam and the veterinary staff will go over such topics as training, vaccinations, parasite prevention, spay/neuter procedures and behavioral issues.
•Senior Pet health evaluations: CVC recommends that all adult pets receive annual examinations and that senior pets receive a thorough physical examination every six to 12 months. We recommend annual blood work (CBC, chemistry profile and thyroid function tests), urinalysis, and fecal examination. These tests will enable us to detect changes that indicate a disease is present and may allow us to slow or stop its progression.

There is no way I could compare them to other veterinarians I've been to, because they are far more skilled and knowledgeable than anyone else in the field. All my concerns were put at ease when they answered all my questions clearly and thoroughly. They go out of their way to make me and my pet feel as comfortable as possible. I felt that they really valued my health and happiness because they followed up even after my appointment just to check up on me. It was such a nice gesture that made a huge difference. I've already been recommending them to everyone I know. I know that any pet would benefit from their care. I loved that they took their time with my pet, and didn’t rush the appointment at all. They made sure my pet was relaxed and that all my questions were answered.
The vet who opened this new clinic worked at franksville vet and they would not tell me where she went! i finally found where dr. sylvia went when i googled her name! i will never take my pets ANYWHERE else!
