It is very important to have a veterinarian examine your dog at least once a year.
Older dogs should be examined twice yearly. A wellness exam is the perfect time to discuss your dog's daily habits, diet, and any problems you have noticed over the past year.
Important issues to discuss include:
- The appropriate food and weight for your dog
- Behavioral issues
- Daily water consumption
- Stool production
- The amount of activity your dog gets daily
- Does your dog seem bright, alert, and active
