The Importance of Wellness & Preventative Care for Your Pets

Regular checkups with your veterinarian can be crucial to maintaining your pet’s health for the long term. Most pets should see their veterinarian at least annually, though some pets, depending on their age or breed, ought to see their doctor more often.

Typically, a wellness exam includes:

Your veterinarian is able to take all of these elements to create a health profile for your pet. When your pet sees your veterinarian regularly, they will be able to identify medical problems or other issues that could affect your pet’s long-term health and quality of life.

The physical exam and laboratory testing helps your veterinarian evaluate the function of all your pet’s major organs. Your veterinarian will also ask you questions about your pet’s behavior, appetite, and activity levels. The wellness exam offers a great opportunity for you to ask your veterinarian any questions that you might have about your pet’s health or behavior.

Ultimately, a little bit of prevention goes a long way. Things like parasite prevention and vaccinations can help protect your pet’s health for many years to come.

Depending on your pet’s lifestyle, breed, and age, among other factors, your veterinarian will recommend certain parasite control measures and vaccines to protect them from infections and infestations. Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
