Canine Wellness Exams FAQS

If you own a dog, it is vital to ensure that it gets routine wellness exams. Regular checkups ensure that your pet is healthy. At Thornapple Veterinary Medical Center in Middleville, MI, our veterinarians provide wellness exams. We will address any of your concerns. Here are some commonly asked questions about routine checkups.

What Happens During a Wellness Exam?

During your dog's routine checkup, our vet will examine your dog's body from head to tail. We will look for abnormal growths and mobility concerns. If anything stands out, our veterinarian will order additional tests. Your pet may be given vaccines, and our vet may recommend future treatment and disease prevention options. You may also discuss nutrition concerns.

Does My Pet Need Shots?

Your pet may need vaccines if it is not caught up. Core vaccines, like the rabies vaccine, need to be administered to dogs and cats yearly in some cases. You should ensure that your pet does not fall behind on vaccines, as many health conditions can be quite serious.

Will My Dog Need Lab Work?

If you have a senior pet or a dog that has not had bloodwork performed in the last few years, it may be time to have our veterinarian check your pet for signs of diseases and take disease prevention steps. Early detection can prevent the condition from worsening, and treatment is often more effective in animals that are discovered to have early signs of a condition.

How Often Does My Dog Need Exams?

Most pets should get a wellness exam at least once a year. If your dog has a health condition, it may need more frequent visits. Speak with our veterinarian to determine how often your pet needs checkups.
