Hi, I'm Dr. Lidija. Here are a few things about general checkups, annual exams, or what we call just a checkup. I'd like to say it's not just a checkup. These are very important parts of our pets ' health. For a pet that is relatively young, once-a-year examination is generally enough, but it allows us to check the pet from nose to tail, from top to bottom. It is very important that we check their dental health, their skin, and that we check for any issues so that we can react on time and in advance before something becomes a big problem. That's why the yearly exam with vaccination is usually a really important part of the entire wellness program.
