Vet – Not Just When They’re Sick

Many pet owners wait until their dog or cat shows clear signs of illness before visiting the vet. But by then, the condition may have already worsened. That’s why regular veterinary check-ups are a must, even if your pet looks perfectly healthy.
🩺 Why Regular Vet Visits Matter:
Routine visits help monitor your pet’s overall health, ensure timely vaccinations, and provide preventive care. Just like humans go for health check-ups, pets need them too — to detect early signs of diseases that are hard to notice at home.
📋 What Happens During a Wellness Check?
During a typical visit, the vet will:
- Examine eyes, ears, skin, and coat for infections or allergies
- Check weight, temperature, heart, lungs, and joints
- Assess dental health and digestion
- Review vaccination records and give booster shots if needed
- Discuss behavior, appetite, and exercise habits
Early detection of problems like kidney disease, diabetes, tumors, arthritis, or obesity can lead to better outcomes and lower treatment costs.
🐶🐱 How Often Should You Go?
- Puppies and kittens: Every 3–4 weeks until 16 weeks old
- Adult pets (1–7 years): Once a year
- Senior pets (7+ years): Every 6 months or as advised
🧠 Peace of Mind for Pet Parents
Regular vet visits aren’t just about preventing disease — they build a record of your pet’s health, giving both you and your vet a better understanding of what’s normal for your pet. This helps in spotting any issues early and treating them before they become serious.
Remember: A healthy pet might not “look” sick. But with regular vet check-ups, you’re giving them the best chance at a long, happy life.
