There are quite a few reasons why veterinary care is so important. Like humans, animals need to have annual visits to see a doctor to keep an eye on their health. Here are a few things that veterinarians will check: Detecting diseases early - Like cancer in humans, dogs can develop cancer or other fatal diseases as well. It’s important to take your pet to a vet to receive proper veterinary care annually to catch any abnormal growths inside or outside of the body. You can also schedule additional visits to the vet if you notice any strange lumps on your pet’s body at any time. Pet vaccinations - Pet vaccinations will help prevent your dog or cat from getting sick. Your pet needs to be updated on all their pet vaccinations before you board them because sicknesses can be transferred from one dog to another. Contact the cat and dog boarding center you plan to use before dropping off your pet to figure out what pet vaccinations are needed to stay at their facility. Check your pet’s skin and paws - Veterinary care also includes checking a dog or cat’s skin and paws to make sure they are healthy and strong. It’s not normal for a cat or dog to have bald patches in their coat, so a vet will check for that and any other abnormal things. Check your pet’s digestive system - Sometimes veterinarians will request you bring in a stool sample from your dog or cat. The stool sample is to check for intestinal parasites like ringworms, which would require anti-fungal treatment in the form of pills or creams.
