Annual Check-Ups from South Miami Vets & Pets
It's best to schedule annual checkups with your veterinarian. These annual checkups will ensure your pet is healthy and happy. Although, it’s best to have a vet to call upon in case of concern. We provide comprehensive animal care, including checkups at South Miami Vets & Pets in Pinecrest, FL. Learn more about yearly checkups for your pet below.
What Happens During an Annual Pet Exam?
A vet from our office will check your pet's mouth, teeth, eyes, and ears for any signs of disease or infection. Our vet will also press the abdomen to check for any abnormalities. In addition, we will listen to your pet's heart and lungs with a stethoscope for abnormal sounds or rhythms.
Our clinic measures your pet's weight and height. Depending on the results, we may also recommend additional tests, like blood work or urinalysis. Many health conditions have no symptoms initially, and giving your pet the best chance at beating it with early detection is helpful. We'll also provide you with any at-home support you can to help your pet remain healthy. The healthiest pets get routine checkups and follow a healthy regimen at home. Always ensure your pet eats a healthy diet and gets plenty of exercise.
How Often Should My Pet Have a Checkup?
It's a good rule of thumb to have your pet receive a comprehensive physical exam at least once yearly. However, remember that pets age faster than humans, and senior pets should have exams every six months to check for age-related issues. Between exams, you should monitor your pet's physical and mental condition. If you notice anything unusual, always contact us so we can diagnose the problem. You can give your pets the best chance at a long life by staying proactive with their health.
