Pet Wellness & Preventative Care FAQs
Pet owners often have questions about how often to schedule checkups, what vaccines are required, and what preventive care truly involves. These FAQs provide detailed, veterinarian-backed information to help you make confident decisions about your pet’s wellness plan at Camden Animal Clinic in Canton, OH.
How often should my pet receive a wellness exam?
Most dogs and cats benefit from a wellness exam every 6 months, though seniors and young pets may need visits more frequently. During these checkups, Camden Animal Clinic veterinarians in Canton assess weight, mobility, dental health, vaccines, and preventive needs to ensure early detection of potential issues.
What vaccines does my dog or cat need?
Required and recommended vaccines depend on your pet’s age, exposure risk, and lifestyle. During a wellness exam, your veterinarian will review core immunizations, booster schedules, and optional vaccines that may benefit Canton-area pets based on regional disease risks.
Why is preventative care so important for indoor pets?
Indoor pets can still develop dental disease, parasites, weight issues, or chronic conditions. Wellness exams at Camden Animal Clinic help detect health concerns early, provide parasite prevention, and ensure vaccinations remain current—supporting long-term comfort and safety.
Will my pet need bloodwork every year?
Annual screening is often recommended, especially for senior pets. Bloodwork helps identify early organ changes, infections, or metabolic issues. Your veterinarian will recommend testing based on age, medical history, and exam findings.
What should I bring to my pet’s wellness appointment?
Bring any medical records, a list of medications or supplements, a stool sample, and notes about behaviors or symptoms you’ve observed. This information helps your veterinarian create a complete picture of your pet’s health during the checkup.
