Adult Dogs
6 monthly health checks play an important role in ensuring your pet remains happy and healthy at all stages of life. When you bring your dog in for their bi-annual check-up, they will undergo a thorough physical examination and you may also be asked questions about their daily routines and behaviours so the vet can build up a complete picture of their current state of health.
This bi-annual visit is also the perfect opportunity to raise any questions or concerns you have about your pet.
Our examinations include:
- Eye and ear examinations
- Rectal examination
- Dental examination
- Neurologic evaluation
- Cardiovascular evaluation
- Weight evaluation and nutrition counselling
- Coat and skin evaluation
- Abdominal palpation
- Urinary system evaluation
- Reproductive system evaluation
- Musculoskeletal evaluation
- Lung evaluation
- Behavioural counselling
Why do I need to bring my dog in for a 6 monthly check-up?
Most animals remain perfectly healthy looking during the early stages of many health conditions and only develop visible symptoms as the illness progresses. Bi-annual health checks allow for our experienced Veterinarian’s to diagnose conditions in these early stages, before they start to negatively affect your pet’s quality of life. Early detection and treatment often means a better prognosis, less complex treatment, a speedier recovery and fewer medical expenses.
Senior dogs
When your dog turns 7, they are considered a senior and at this stage of life, we recommend yearly senior pet blood tests in conjunction with these 6 monthly health checks, as illnesses in older dogs tend to develop and progress at a much faster rate. Learn more about the kinds of conditions commonly found in older animals.
