The Importance of Annual Pet Wellness Visits
There are several reasons why we advocate for yearly wellness exams for dogs and cats.
Regular visits enable us to offer preventive care, including vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional advice. This approach helps ward off diseases and identify potential health risks early on.
Pets often hide signs of illness. Annual exams help us detect diseases early when they are more manageable and treatable. We check for common health problems such as sudden weight gain/loss, lumps and bumps, runny noses and eyes, bad breath, and acute or chronic pain. On top of that, we run blood and parasite screens to see what’s going on internally.
Pets age faster than humans, so health problems can develop quickly. Annual wellness exams can accommodate rapid health changes. If your pet is a senior (7 years or older), we advocate biannual (every 6 months) exams, because senior dogs and cats are more prone to chronic disease.
