Annual Office Visit

Just like humans, dogs and cats need an annual checkup every year. Annual visits keep your pet healthy. By seeing the vet every year for an annual office visit, your pet is consistently monitored making it easier for changes to be noticed and problems can be identified and treated. It costs much less for an annual office visit each year than to treat a serious illness that may arise if it is not caught early.

During the visit, the veterinarian will examine your pet for clean skin, clear eyes, healthy ears, and a shiny coat. The doctor will use a stethoscope to listen to your pet’s heart and lungs. Your pet’s mouth will also be evaluated to make sure there are no loose or infected teeth or infected gums.

Any vaccinations or testing your pet needs can be completed during this visit.

If anything abnormal or concerning is discovered, further testing may be necessary.
