Importance of Annual Pet Exams From Your Tucson Veterinarian
Pet exams are important for pets of all ages. As your veterinarian in Tucson AZ, we encourage pet owners to bring in their pets at least once annually for a wellness exam. Understanding what happens during an exam and the importance of wellness exams can help you decide if this veterinary checkup is right for your pet.
What To Expect
During your pet’s annual wellness exam, we’ll give your pet a complete physical examination. We’ll check your pet’s eyes, ears, mouth, nose, coat, breathing, heart rate and other physical characteristics. In addition, we’ll observe and analyze your pet’s behavior, take your pet’s weight and recommend ways that you can take care of your pet at home. If you have any questions about your pet’s care, we’ll be happy to answer them at that time. If your pet is in need of vaccinations, we’ll recommend the appropriate shots and will administer those shots during the exam.
Benefits of Staying Up To Date With Your Pet Veterinary Exam
There are many reasons to keep your pet up to date with pet exams!
- Updated vaccinations. Taking your pet to the vet at least once annually ensures that your pet has the proper shots.
- Prevention. Your pet’s vet will check for a variety of serious or chronic conditions. If your the vet finds evidence of these conditions during the exam, your pet’s vet will recommend treatment to help your dog or cat recover.
- Develop a good relationship with the vet. Pet exams help your pet develop a good relationship with the veterinarian. Bringing your pet to see the vet regularly will help your pet understand the veterinarian is a friend.
