All pets need to be examined at least once a year in order to prevent or detect health problems. The physical examination is also an opportunity for you to discuss important wellness issues with your pet’s doctor. It’s one of the best ways to help your pet keep healthy and around as long as possible.

The main benefits for:

Puppies and kittens: to make sure they’re growing properly and getting the right vaccinations and medications, as well as to spot any inborn abnormalities or parasite infestation

Adult pets: to help you catch health problems before they can become more serious

Older pets: to prevent or manage the onset of many age-related chronic diseases, such as arthritis, cancer, dental problems, diabetes, kidney disease, or heart trouble.
