For most healthy adult pets, an annual wellness exam is recommended. Puppies, kittens, and senior pets may need more frequent visits — every 3 to 6 months — to monitor growth or age-related changes. Your vet can advise a schedule based on your pet's breed and health history.
Core vaccines for dogs include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and hepatitis. For cats, core vaccines cover rabies, feline panleukopenia, calicivirus, and herpesvirus. Your veterinarian will also recommend non-core vaccines based on your pet's lifestyle, such as kennel cough for dogs that board frequently.
Common signs include excessive scratching, biting at the skin, hair loss, and small dark specks (flea dirt) on the coat or bedding. Ticks feel like small bumps on the skin, often found around the ears, neck, and between toes. Regular grooming and checking after walks help catch them early.
A balanced diet depends on your pet's species, age, size, and activity level. High-quality commercial foods are formulated to meet nutritional standards. Avoid feeding table scraps, especially onions, garlic, chocolate, and grapes. Always provide fresh water and consult your vet before making major diet changes.
Most veterinarians recommend spaying or neutering between 4 and 6 months of age. Early spaying reduces the risk of mammary tumors and uterine infections in females, while neutering prevents testicular cancer and certain behavioral issues in males. Your vet can help determine the best timing for your individual pet.
