PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should your pet see the vet?
Take your dog or cat for a check-up at the vet at least once a year, even if it seems healthy.
The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association calls at least one visit a year ideal, because animals age much faster than people. The check covers weight, teeth, heart and vaccinations. Older animals often need more frequent checks; follow your vet’s advice.
- Book a yearly appointment
- Note changes in eating, drinking, weight or behaviour beforehand
- Bring the vaccination record or pet passport
- Ask which vaccines and treatments are needed
