The moment a pet walks through the door, it is already one of the family. We will have to cover their basic needs and invest in one of the most important things: their health. To guarantee a good quality of life for our new friend and to keep him as healthy as possible, annual check-ups are very important.
The importance of annual check-ups for our pets
Annual check-ups for our furry pet are a fundamental part of their health care, as they can detect any problems at an early stage, saving us time and stress and, above all, preventing the onset of new diseases.
At these check-ups, the vet examines our friend from “from head to paws”. Skin, ears, eyes, teeth and gums are thoroughly checked. Our pets are also weighed and their nutritional estate is assessed too. Furthermore, blood and urine tests are carried out as well.
In addition, you can use advantage in their check-ups to resolve any doubts or concerns you may have, if you have noticed any changes in his behaviour, in the way they eats, plays or sleeps, etc. It is important to discuss everything with the vet in case there are any “hidden” problems.
Apart from these check-ups, it is also very important to keep their vaccination records up to date, feed them a food that is suitable for their age and breed, keep their environment clean and always have food and water available. And remember! At Camelias Vet we have the food you need for your dog.
Usually it is puppies and older dogs that undergo these check-ups more frequently, as their health is much more vulnerable at this age. However, whatever the age of your pet, you should visit our Camelias Vet clinic at least once a year to give your pet a complete check-up.
In short, annual check-ups should be a priority for any responsible pet owner, so don’t hesitate to schedule one as soon as possible!
