Pet parenting comes with as many responsibilities as actual human parenting does. While you might be taking the best care of your dog, giving sufficient exercise and a good diet, regular vet check-ups are essential to ensure that your pet is really doing okay.

If you feel that your pet is completely healthy and needs no vet check-ups, you need to come out of your bubble. Stay with us till the end to know why regular check-ups are essential and why you shouldn’t miss them.

Why Regular Check-ups?

Let’s be honest, a professional doctor can see what you can’t. If you miss regular check-ups for your pet, it can lead to the possibility of numerous problems rooting inside your pet without your knowledge. Here are a few things regular vet check-ups can help you and your pet with.

When is the Right Time?

Regular check-ups are the most effective only when done in the right intervals.

For pups under 16 weeks of age, a vet visit is required every 3-4 weeks for vaccination and routine check-up. The next vaccine (DA2PP booster and rabies) is scheduled at the age of 1 year. Between the period of 16 weeks and 1 year, a vet visit is recommended for a regular health checkup. For dogs older than a year, one annual check-up is considered okay. In senior dogs, the frequency might increase based on their health conditions. While this is the common preference, every dog is different and the frequency of regular check-ups depends on your dog’s individual health and body status.
