5 reasons why your pet needs a physical

11/19/2019

22 Comments

 
1. Your dog or cat is keeping secrets! Dogs and cats often do not show outward signs of pain or illness. With a physical exam we can detect underlying problems and also verify that systems are healthy!

2. Your veterinarian will learn what is normal for each individual pet, which helps us to recognize subtle changes and address them early.

3. New studies come out all of the time about pet health and your veterinarian is the best source for accurate information. Ever wonder about grain-free diets? How about the best time to spay or neuter your pet? We have the latest information to help you decide!

4. Preventing a problem is WAY easier and less costly than fixing one. We can help make sure your pet is protected against vaccine preventable disease and parasites. We can also help you choose the best food and create a healthy weight plan for your pet to help prevent problems such as diabetes and osteoarthritis.
​
5. We care about your pet! We want them to live a long, healthy and happy life just as much as you do. We take every effort to thoroughly collect information, review your pet's history for patterns and communicate any information you need to make the best decisions for your furry loved-one!

I love how you said that preventing a problem is way easier than fixing one when you're talking about health. It's less stressful on your pet too because you'll have less invasive options. I'll make sure I take my cat to the vet often so we can catch any problems early.

I had no idea that, as you mentioned, pets are really good at hiding any pain they may be feeling. Also, like you said, preventing a problem is way easier then fixing one. I am not sure the last time my dog went in for a physical. I should probably get him in, and checked up to make sure everything is all good.

I appreciate your recommendation to take your pet to a regular physical because animals don't often show signs of illness or pain. My husband and I bought a puppy last month and we want to take the best care of him possible. We will be sure to find a reputable vet to take our dog to that can make sure he is in great health.

My cat came home a couple of months ago, and I think that she might be pregnant because she has been getting bigger. Making sure that we can get her looked at by a professional with an ultrasound to be a lot safer. I liked what you said about how they should help us make the best decisions for her based on her history.

It really helped when you said having a physical exam for your pet helps detect any invisible problems and ensure good health. My girlfriend and I adopted a dog recently. We have taken him to get his vaccines and all, but after reading your piece, we think it might be a good idea to get a physical exam for him, just to be sure he's perfectly fine. We're grateful for your advice on why it's better to prevent any medical problem by getting a physical exam.

I like the idea of having a veterinarian help see subtle changes and to help my dog out early. Too many people trust the internet when it comes to their pets' health. That is too risky for me so I need a veterinarian to make sure it all goes smoothly.

I recently rescued a dog from the pound, and I want to make sure that I take good care of him. It makes sense that I would want to have him get the proper physicals done. I can see how it would be better to prevent health problems than to fix them after they come up.

Thanks for sharing how a physical will allow your vet to know what is normal for your pet. My dog has trouble walking sometimes so hopefully, they could figure out why. He also doesn't eat all the time so I hope a physical can help with that too.

How interesting that you talk about how it is great to get a physical for your pet and got to a vet, who knows the latest research. I just got a cute cocker spaniel and want to care for him well. I will find a great animal care hospital service in my area.

It's good to know that you can detect underlying issues with a physical! My husband and I have been thinking about getting a dog for our family for the past couple of weeks, and we wanted to know some extra tips on keeping one healthy. We'll make sure to keep these tips in mind once we get a pet for our family so that we can look into finding a vet that can give our dog physicals!

We run with our dogs – I usually run with my German Shorthaired Pointer Rosemary and my husband runs with our Viszla Sage. Rosie is almost eight and I have ran off lead with her for about six years. She is old enough to know not to start out at a sprint ???? She loves the fall weather right now and usually is a few steps ahead of me. But being a good puppy, she knows to slow down at streets or if people are coming.

I like what you said about making sure that you have preventative plans in place before disaster strikes. My dog has been throwing up quite a bit. I'll have to take her to the vet to make sure it doesn't get worse.

It got me when you said that preventing a health issue is better than curing one is it can be costly. With that in mind, I should start looking for a veterinary clinic that I can trust to get my dog checked. My pet doesn't show any health issues yet, but it is better to be prepared since he is almost about 8 years old now.

Dogs cannot tell us what they feel physical exam is needed to ensure that they are good.

I want to make sure that my dog is healthy, and it makes sense that regular vet visits would help that. I'll be sure to find a vet that has a friendly atmosphere. It makes sense that a hostile area could be really stressful for an anxious dog.

It helped when you mentioned that it is important to prevent a problem rather than to fix one. My sister mentioned to me that she is planning to have her pet vaccinated and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to do. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell her that she can consult a well-known veterinary service as they can answer all her inquiries and will provide good care of her pet.

It's great to know that a veterinarian will be able to determine any alarming changes and address them right away. I guess you also have a point that it will be best to have my dog vaccinated as well.

I would say that visiting the vet is vital when it comes to any sort of health issue. My dog hasn't been able to keep food down
