Preventive Dog Health

With many canine illnesses and dog health problems, you won't be able to tell anything is wrong by just observing your dog.
A yearly physical gives your veterinarian the chance to evaluate your dog's health and detect canine health problems before they turn into serious dog diseases or illnesses.

Taking your pet to the veterinarian once a year is the equivalent of you seeing your physician once every 7 years.
Senior dogs (6+ years) should make biannual visits for optimal dog health care.
Puppies shuold visit the vet at least four times in their first year. These visits will include all puppy shots
