The Importance of Regular General Examinations for Your Pet

Understanding the Vital Role of General Examinations


Do you wonder why your vet constantly insists on regular general exams for your pet? The reason behind this is simple yet essential – early detection of potential health issues. At Auburn Bay Veterinary Clinic, we believe that preventative healthcare is a significant part of keeping your pets healthy and happy.


Frequency of General Examinations


Just like humans, the state of our pets’ health can change rapidly. To ensure that your pet is in good condition, it is important to carry out general examinations at least once a year. For senior pets or pets with chronic conditions, more frequent check-ups may be required to manage their health effectively.


The Health Assessment Process


During a general examination, our veterinary professionals conduct a thorough head-to-tail assessment. This includes checking your pet’s eyes, mouth, skin, and coat, examining their cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and skeletal systems, and the overall body condition and demeanor of your pet. We may also recommend diagnostic tests, depending on their age and state of health.


Benefits of Regular General Examinations


Regular general examinations for your pets come with a host of benefits. These include early detection and prevention of diseases, weight control and dietary planning, behavior consultations, and the chance to ask any questions about your pet’s health and wellbeing.
