Your pet’s annual vet check-up will include a total physical exam with a thorough investigation of your pet’s head, body, tail and all his assorted cavities. Because even the most cooperative pet may not readily go-along with a tooth and gum brushing, an annual dental cleaning by your veterinarian is recommended. Like you, your pet can lose his teeth due to decay and neglect.
It is a good idea to keep an accurate medical diary, not only of the procedures and vaccinations your pet receives at the vet, but also of notes on things like your pet’s elimination habits and any physical changes or unusual occurrences. You should keep track of small shifts in your pet’s behavior, including urinary marking habits and mood swings, along with diet and routine modifications. Bring this notebook to your vet appointments. These seemingly unrelated occurrences may help explain results of your pet’s medical tests. Also, if you move and need to change vets, it’s good to have this journal to provide a complete medical history.
