Why are regular check-ups important for dogs?

Why are regular checks important? All dog owners often ask themselves this type of question. If you do not carry out regular checks, your dog may suffer from serious illnesses that you do not know about. Therefore, you have to pay a lot of money both to the veterinarians for advice and for the drugs necessary for the therapy of the clinical condition.


Should you take your dog to the vet regularly? How often should you check your dog?

One may not be able to discover the most common clinical conditions in their dog due to their lack of experience with canine diseases or dog breeding. This is why health checkups are important. 


For example, if the dog has a pot belly, this condition may not seem abnormal most of the time. But if the dog is regularly checked, the veterinarian notices this immediately and gives the appropriate treatment. Otherwise, the animal may suffer from diarrhea and dehydration.


If the dog shows signs of illness, do not wait for regular check-ups. On the contrary, you should immediately go to the veterinarian. The checks, if carried out regularly, make it possible to vaccinate the dog against distemper, parvovirus, coronavirus, rabies virus, hepatitis virus, etc.


In such cases, booster vaccinations will be carried out without any delay in injections, which allows for improvement in the level of immunity of the dog against these diseases to a remarkable degree. Regular monitoring is essential, along with an appropriate stool examination. Therefore, deworming can be done with drugs like fenbendazole, albendazole, etc.


Abnormalities such as signs of pain can be ruled out during these examinations. If this is not the case, helminthiasis can affect the animal and diarrhea can occur in addition to other types of digestive disorders and anemia. 


Regular examinations can rule out external parasites such as lice or ticks. Dental problems are also detected during regular check-ups carried out at reputable veterinary hospitals.
