Annual Pet Health Exam

As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Just like how we go to the doctor to prevent illness, it is no different for pets. Preventative health care is integral, as it allows veterinarians to check for early signs of diseases and disorders and allows them to recommend the steps you need to do to keep your pets on the long and healthy road. An annual vet checkup at our animal clinic, South Hall Veterinary Hospital, in Oakwood, GA, is one of the best types of preventative health care you can provide your pets.

What a Vet Checkup ls, and What Happens During an Annual Pet Exam

A vet checkup is often called a wellness exam, and the primary focus of this checkup is to determine how your pets' health is comparative to where they were last year and where they should be this year according to their species and breed profile. The secondary goal of a wellness exam is to give you the tools and knowledge necessary to maintain your pets' optimal health in the following months.

During a routine wellness exam, regardless of a pet's age, our Oakwood, GA, veterinarians will ask you a series of questions about your pets' diet, exercise, habits, behavior, lifestyle, elimination patterns, and overall general health. Our doctors will also ask about any changes you've seen since the last. After this portion of the exam, our vets will perform a physical examination and then administer any vaccinations or routine processes, such as the fecal exam, if necessary. The checkup will end with our veterinarians making personalized recommendations to maintain the health and longevity of your pets.

How Often a Pet Needs to See a Veterinarian

If your pets are healthy, we recommend that you bring them to our animal clinic every year. However, young animals, senior pets, and animals that have health conditions should have vet checkups twice a year as they require more medical attention.
