Preventive Veterinary Care for Your Pet
Taking your pet to us for a routine pet wellness exam is like taking them to a physical. As with people, how often your pet should have a physical checkup depends on your pet’s lifestyle, age, and overall health. Annual wellness exams are usually recommended for healthy adult dogs. Still, pups, kittens, senior animals, and animals with underlying medical conditions benefit from frequent exams. This is to prevent severe conditions from worsening.
How Often Does Your Pet Pal Need a Pet Checkup?
Yearly wellness exams are recommended for healthy, active adult dogs or cats between 1-7 years old. A pet wellness exam is an annual physical pet checkup that is done while your pet seems completely healthy. During a checkup, your veterinarian will search for early signs of illness or other problems like joint pain. Also, your vet will administer any necessary vaccines or speak to you about your pet’s diet and nutritional requirements. And possibly recommend the appropriate parasite protection.
Moreover, if your veterinarian detects any signs of health problems, they will complete diagnostic testing to provide you with a diagnosis and treatment plan suitable for your dog or cat. At Alexander Animal Hospital, we perform our lab services and diagnostics; this means less waiting and quicker results.
Wellness Examinations for Senior Animals
Since many animal diseases and injuries are prevalent in older pets, we recommend taking your senior pet to a vet every 6 months. If you have a senior pet, we’ll be able to let you know often they should receive a pet wellness exam and routine pet care. Do you have an interest in using our services for your cat’s or dog’s veterinary needs? Contact our office today!
