Importance of an Annual Pet Exam
One of your most important duties of a pet owner is caring for your pet’s health. Routine veterinary care from Collierville Animal Clinic can help you meet your pet’s medical needs. Our annual pet exams are designed to protect and preserve your pet’s health and wellbeing. Annual pet exams play an important role in your pet’s preventative care.
What Does an Annual Pet Exam Entail?
Preventative pet care can help keep your pet healthy throughout his life. At Collierville Animal Clinic, preventative care starts with an annual pet exam. The following services may be included in your pet’s annual exam:
Physical - During an exam, your pet will receive a complete physical to assess his current state of health. In addition to a visual inspection of your pet’s body, we’ll check his heart, lungs, and joints for irregularities or signs of disease.
Lab Work - Diagnostic testing is an essential part of a pet exam to help diagnose medical conditions. Our vet will conduct blood, urine, and fecal sample tests to uncover hidden medical issues.
Parasite Control – We’ll check your pet for fleas, ticks, and other parasites that can cause serious diseases. We’ll also recommend parasite control medications that can keep your kit or pup free of these pests throughout the year.
Vaccinations – Our vet will review your pet’s vaccination schedule and update his shots, if needed. Keeping up with your pet’s core vaccinations is a must to keep him safe from life threatening diseases.
Importance of Annual Pet Exam
Annual exams enable us to monitor your pet’s health to detect early warning signs of health problems or diseases. The sooner problems are detected, the sooner your pet can receive treatment. Prompt treatment can spare your pet pain and suffering and expedite his recovery.
