Your pet's annual vet check-up will include a complete physical exam, with a thorough investigation of your pet from nose to tail. Here, we can address any physical or behavioral issues your pet may be experiencing. This is also a great time to ensure your pet is up-to-date on recommended vaccinations, blood work, or other testing.
Because even the most cooperative pet may not readily go-along with a tooth and gum brushing, an annual cleaning by your veterinarian maybe in order. Like you, your pet can lose his teeth due to decay and neglect.
It's a good idea to keep an accurate medical diary not only of the procedures and vaccinations your pet receives at the vet, but also of notes on things like your pet's elimination habits and any physical changes or unusual occurrences. Keep track of small shifts in your pet's behavior, including urinary marking habits and mood swings, along with diet and routine modifications. Take this notebook when you visit the vet. These seemingly unrelated occurrences may help explain results of your pet's medical tests.
