What Vets Look For During Annual Health Checks
During your pet's annual health check, veterinarians perform a thorough assessment to ensure your pet is in optimal condition. Here are the key areas they focus on:
Physical Examination: Veterinarians perform a head-to-tail examination, checking for abnormalities in the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, skin, coat, and body condition. They palpate for any lumps, bumps, or sore spots.
Vital Signs: Heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature are measured to gauge your dog's basic physiological functions. Any abnormalities can indicate underlying health issues.
Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for your pet's overall health. Veterinarians assess your pet's body condition and offer guidance on nutrition and exercise if needed.
Dental Health: Oral health is crucial for pets, as dental issues can lead to various health problems. Veterinarians check for signs of dental disease and provide recommendations for dental care.
Vaccination Status: Annual health checks are an opportune time to ensure your pet's vaccinations are up-to-date to protect against preventable diseases.
Parasite Control: Veterinarians evaluate your pet for external parasites like fleas and ticks, as well as internal parasites like worms. They can recommend appropriate preventive measures.
Heart and Lungs: A thorough evaluation of the heart and lungs helps detect any murmurs, irregular rhythms, or respiratory issues.
Joint and Mobility: As pets age, joint issues can arise. Veterinarians assess your pet's mobility and joint health, offering advice on managing arthritis or other related conditions.
Behavioural Assessment: Changes in behaviour can indicate underlying health problems. Veterinarians inquire about your dog's behaviour and address any concerns.
