Annual Health Checkup
Keeping Your Pet Healthy in Dubai
The annual checkup can be performed when an animal is in good health and is not currently undergoing any course of treatment. By conducting the study when there are no apparent problems, your vet can create a healthy animal profile, aiding in future diagnosis. Even more importantly, this method can detect hidden diseases that can endanger your pet. It also provides a great opportunity to check that your pet is up to date with their vaccinations and deworming tablets. An annual checkup may seem too often but our pets age faster than we do. For a dog to survive one year without a visit to the vet is the equivalent to man not seeing his doctor for 10 years! For cats one year without a visit to the vet is roughly equivalent to five years of human life!
Through regular yearly examination your veterinarian is able to detect and prevent many dangerous diseases and afflictions. The annual checkup is key to being a responsible owner and ensuring your pets enjoy a longer and healthier life.
