Once a year, you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam, vaccinations and recommending parasite prevention if needed. Dr. Sarah Ford or Dr. Tanner Walker will check the
health of your pet from head to tail, and you will be very happy you came to Burke County Animal Hospital for service.
Bring in any medical history you have of your pet when you come to our vet clinic. It's best to keep a journal of your pet's health throughout his or her life, including behavioral
shifts. If you have something like this, share it with our team. If not, let us know everything that you think will be important. Dr. Ford can still work with whatever
information you have.
In some circumstances, the Doctor will refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as internal medicine or surgery.
