Annual Wellness Exam: What Your Vet Is Actually Checking
A thorough wellness visit is more than vaccines — here is everything we look at, and why it matters.
.webp&w=3840&q=75)
What we examine\n\nWe weigh your pet, check temperature and pulse, listen to heart and lungs, palpate the abdomen, examine eyes/ears/mouth/skin, assess joints and lymph nodes, and review behaviour and diet.\n\n## Why annually (or twice a year for seniors)\n\nDogs age 5–8x faster than humans. A year between visits can mean missed early signs of dental disease, kidney issues, or joint problems. Twice-yearly is the standard for cats and dogs over seven.\n\n## Bloodwork: when and why\n\nFor adults, baseline CBC + biochemistry every 1–2 years. For seniors, annually. It catches kidney/liver disease, thyroid issues, and diabetes long before symptoms appear.\n\n## What to bring\n\nVaccination card, current food name, any new symptoms (even small ones), a stool sample if you can.\n\nBook on +91 98711 55162.
