Regular check-ups are an important part of keeping your pet healthy. DPC Veterinary Hospital in Hollywood recommends that all pets receive a yearly comprehensive physical examination, though more frequent exams are also encouraged if there is need.
Routine physical examinations, are vital in prevention and maintenance and can ensure that any medical conditions are treated before they become critical. Exams aid your pet's veterinarian in developing a clear picture of your pet's health and help establish an interpersonal relationship with your loved one.
During the examination your pet's doctor will evaluate your pet's vital signs, listen to the lungs and heart, check eyes and ears, exam the teeth and oral cavity, check for any unusual growths, and evaluate the joints and muscles. It's also the perfect time for the doctor to evaluate behavior, diet, and other daily habits. DPC encourages all clients to discuss all concerns and ask as many questions as possible at the time of your examination.
We strongly believe in working closely with our clients to achieve the best possible results to improve the quality of life for each and every pet.

DPC Veterinary Hospital of South Florida is proud to offer pet counseling to our clients in areas of both dietary and behavioral needs.
One of the key components in establishing a long-term veterinarian relationship is knowing that he or she will be able to guide you in all aspects of pet ownership. One of the most important areas in need of guidance from the very beginning of a pet's life, is behavior.
Our Florida veterinary clinic offers counseling for your pet's problem behaviors. Pet behavioral problems are the number one reason animals are relinquished from their home. Many of these problems are not a simple training issue and are beyond the scope of the local obedience class. Our veterinarians understand how an owner can feel powerless when their attempts to intervene fail to resolve these problems. If your pet is exhibiting signs such as aggression, fear, anxiety, or inappropriate urination or defecation habits, you should contact a local Florida veterinarian.
It is important to understand that medical problems can contribute to behavioral problems in an animal. A variety of diseases and ailments can cause or contribute to behavioral changes. If you are looking for a quality South Florida veterinarian to discuss such behavioral issues, DPC Veterinary Hospital is waiting to hear from you. Call for an appointment today at 954-989-9879!
