Examinations of physical condition include evaluations of coat quality along with assessments of hydration status and gum coloration while also checking limb functionality and joint responsiveness as well as abdominal firmness and muscular stability. The intake picture becomes complete through owner feedback—recent shifts in appetite, grooming habits, social interactions, and vocalization patterns direct subsequent actions. New Hope Veterinary Clinic presents an array of structured services that encompass lab panels, dental procedures, surgical prep and recovery, age-adjusted diagnostics, and preventative wellness mapping.
