What is a typical veterinary checkup? |
[Edit] |
Answer
If you are dealing with a puppy the vet will check it's heart, lungs, eyes, ears, teeth and take it's temperature and also weigh it. This is the time usually for the shots puppies need or deworming.
If the dog is an adult then the vet will check the weight, heart, lungs, eyes, ears, teeth (to see if they need scaling) check their temperature and may even spread the fur to see if they have fleas. You dog may need some shots or may not. In Canada Rabies shots are given every 3 years, but I believe in the U.S. it's every year. There are other shots necessary to keep your pet healthy as well. If you are lucky your vet will also clip your dogs nails at no cost to you (mine does.)
