A wellness examination includes a complete physical examination and discussion about your dog's daily habits and nutrition. Depending on your dog's age, these visits may be recommended annually or more frequently. Lab work such as blood tests, urinalysis, and fecal tests are often recommended to screen for underlying disease. Radiographs of your dog's chest, abdomen, or joints may also be suggested. Prepare for your dog's wellness examination by knowing what food he eats and how much, any supplements or medications he is taking and if anyone in your household has noticed changes or has concerns.
