Annual visits are short. A bit of prep turns 15 minutes into a meaningful health review.
Bring this with you
- A list of any changes since the last visit — appetite, sleep, behavior, weight
- The brand and amount of food you're currently feeding
- Any supplements or medications, including flea and tick
- A fresh stool sample if requested
Ask about
- Vaccine schedule for the coming year
- Dental exam and cleaning needs
- Weight trend vs ideal
- Senior-care baseline tests if your pet is over seven
Take notes — you'll forget half of what was said before you reach the parking lot.
