Dugan Equine Veterinary Hospital

Dugan Equine Veterinary Hospital in Roy conducts wellness visits by examining posture, flexibility, and climate timing to support active, senior, or predisposed breeds throughout Washington. The consultation begins by examining daily movement patterns through questions about climbing ability, rest positions, jump tolerance thresholds, fatigue levels, and social behavior. The head-to-tail examination process assesses numerous factors including body weight and orthopedic symmetry along with range of motion while evaluating coat health and breathing comfort together with oral condition and sensory response. The assessment of breed-specific vulnerabilities like hip dysplasia and spinal issues alongside allergies and overheating relies on both pet history and physical indicators. The range of services at Dugan Equine Veterinary Hospital includes vaccine programs alongside lab work plus lameness checks and nutritional coaching as well as dental exams and pain evaluations.

Planning may include age-stage adjustments or suggestions for activity-based conditioning.

Return timelines can adjust based on athletic milestones recovery tracking or weather-responsive planning for arthritis-prone or aging pets.
