Annual Pet Exams in Spartanburg, SC
The health of your furry friend is important. They are like another family member to you. You love and care for them unconditionally. An important part of keeping them happy and healthy is scheduling annual physical exams. Much like humans, these are necessary to keep an eye on their overall health. It allows for the opportunity to catch early warning signs of disease, get vaccinations, and check key health indicators.
Tips for Preparing Your Pet for Their Annual Exam
Just like us, pets can get stressed when it is time to visit the animal hospital. They can get anxious because they do not like being touched and felt by strangers. This is completely normal. Here are some tips to help reduce your pet’s anxiety about going to their local veterinary clinic and for general preparedness:
- Bring a Fresh Stool Sample: Your veterinarian will use a stool sample to check for heartworms. If you can, bring a fresh stool sample to your pet’s annual exam.
- Visit The Animal Hospital: Unfamiliar settings cause stress for your pets. Take a short trip to your animal hospital and let them walk around the outside and you can even check out the reception area with them. This will give them a level of familiarity with the environment.
- Ask About Medication: There are some medications that your vet can prescribe to calm your furry friend’s nerves. This is not always advisable. This should be thoroughly discussed with your veterinarian.
- Bring Medical Records: If you are switching to a new animal hospital, bring all your pet’s medical records. This will help your new veterinarian understand their medical history and help them give the best advice and treatment for your pet going into the future.
