Why Are Preventative Care Exams Important?
Preventative care exams help us catch potential health problems early. Therefore, we recommend that all pets have a preventive care exam at least once a year. We will check your pet from head to tail, update their vaccinations, and discuss their health concerns.
What Happens during a Preventative Care Exam?
During our preventive pet care exam, we will explore multiple areas of your pet's health which include the following listed below:
- Weight
- Temperature
- Appearance
- Heart
- Lungs
- Teeth
- Gums
We will also check their eyes, ears, skin, and coat for signs of infection or disease. In addition, feel their abdomen for abnormalities.
Finally, we will update your pet’s vaccinations and discuss any health concerns that you may have. We will also provide information on keeping your pet healthy if they need lifestyle changes. We recommend bringing a pencil and paper or a list of questions if you have specific concerns for our veterinarian.
Benefits of Preventative Care Exams
Preventative care exams help us identify potential health problems early before they become serious. We recommend that all pets have a preventive care exam at least once a year. If your pet is older or you notice any changes in their health, we may recommend frequent exams.
Preventative care exams also allow us to know your pet's health needs. These needs help us provide them with the best possible care.
