how many times do I need to take my dog to the vet for a check-up?

Answer 1

Once a year when he's an adult. I think a little more often as a puupy. I forget that part since it has been 8 years since mine was a puppy.

Answer 2

All puppies should start their vet visits at about 8 wks of age, going once a month for vaccines until they are 4 months old. Breeds like pitbulls & rottweilers should have an additional vaccine because they are more prone to parvo & need the extra booster. At about 6 month of age they go in to be spayed or neutered. Then once a year for routine visits. If they develop some sort of disease such as epilepsy, diabetes or urinary problems (just to name a few), they should go every 6 months. Once a pet becomes senior at around 7 they should have exams every 6 months.

Answer 3

Assuming this is an adult dog and not a puppy, you should take your dog for a checkup once a year. This is when they should be checked and inoculated for heartworm and rabies. Your vet will also give them a once-over for any other problems that may exist at the time. Have their teeth cleaned and nails trimmed while you're at it and your dog will live a long and healthy life.

Answer 4

It is suggested that you take your dog to the vet a minimum of once a year. But, if she/he is older or has other health conditions, it is suggested that he/she sees the vet every 6 months. If he/she seems ill or lethargic or has other issues that were not present before, you should take him/her when the symptoms arise.

Answer 5

When a dog is an adult once a year for its booster shots plus your vet can look your dog over. Puppys have more shots to get, they have to go more.

Answer 6

2-3 times a year i have a weiner dog / hotdog

Answer 7

Mine goes once a year. He seems to do pretty good.
