An annual pet exam can help your pet stay healthy year-round and can save you money on veterinary care needs, too. Learning more about the benefits of annual pet exams is a must for any pet parent in the Downey area. Here at Firestone Animal Hospital, we believe that preventative care is essential for your pet’s long term health.
Your veterinarian will do a full exam when your pet is seen. This process evaluates his overall health and also helps spot early signs of trouble that could develop into health problems later. Obesity, dental issues, and other conditions are easily treated when caught early, and your Downey veterinarian can spot the warning signs of one or more of these common concerns.
When your pet is on a regular vaccination schedule and any troublesome conditions are spotted early, you'll save money on treatment later. Conditions that are left to advance unchecked impact your pet's overall well-being and are also more costly to treat. When you have annual pet exams, you not only get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is healthy, you can significantly lower your treatment costs or prevent some conditions from occurring at all.
If you travel or need to board your animal for any reason, the facility or pet sitter you choose will need proof of recent vaccinations. If you keep your pet up to date with shots and exams, you can leave home or town at a moment's notice. Even pet friendly hotels require proof of vaccines, so having these important protections in place will save you time if you need to travel or leave town.
Annual exams benefit your pet in many ways, protecting his health and prolonging his life. They also save you time, money, and heartache. Committing to an annual exam means spending a few hours a year, then reaping the benefits of a healthy, fully vaccinated pet year-round.
