Check
A preventive health check is recommended when you want to ensure that your pet does not exhibit any concerning symptoms. You should check your dog's or cat's overall health at least once a year. A preventive health checkup can reduce your pet's risk of becoming ill or protect him from a serious disease that, if detected too late, can be a serious health problem. The doctor may order additional tests during the visit, such as blood tests, urine tests, a stool examination, or imaging tests. The vet will ensure that there is nothing to be concerned about based on the results. If the results raise concerns, additional diagnostics will definitely be ordered.
During a health checkup, a detailed history and clinical examination should be performed. A clinical examination includes observing your dog's overall appearance, listening to their chest with a stethoscope (auscultation), and feeling specific areas of the body (palpation). It includes an examination of your pet's eyes, ears, and coat for overall condition, abnormal hair loss or dandruff, how your dog walks and stands, and a weight check. The veterinarian should also provide comprehensive answers to your questions and concerns about your pet's health.
FAQ
The cost of a preventive health check ranges from PLN 50 to PLN 90.
A preventive visit lasts about 30 minutes.
When you go for a checkup visit, you should bring your pet's health book and any relevant medical records with you. Arrive early enough at the clinic to report at reception and possibly supplement the information on the pet's health card. If additional tests will be conducted, the animal should be fasted. As a result, the veterinarian will be able to perform imaging or blood tests. Prepare a list of questions to ask the doctor during the consultation. You can also provide videos of the animal's problematic behavior. This is an excellent time to discuss any concerns you may have with your veterinarian. You can also bring your dog or cat's favorite treat. If taking your pet to the vet is stressful for him, the reward he will receive from you will allow him to associate this event with something pleasant.
