Hi-- just wanted to ask for some info, or a link to a thread:
This will be my first visit to the vet (although not my dogs'). They're about 2yrs, got them in Feb from a rescue (as mentioned in other posts). They were up to date on all of their shots, and I now need to take them for their annual visit. The vaccination debate aside, what other things will the vet do? What things should I ask for? As I mentioned in another thread, they'll be boarded there over the weekend and official "visit" is on Monday when I go to pick them up... so I'm assuming any stool samples the staff can collect. I'm a bit clueless as to what actually happens though.
They will most likely check: heart, lungs, ears, eyes, fecal, feet, skin/parasites, weight. Basically a physical.
They may also go into diet and exercise, especially if the dogs are under or overweight, or if they want to switch them to their brand of food.
Some vets will try to sell you a "wellness plan" for hundreds of dollars.

i worked for a vet for a year one thing you need to ask is what food do they feed because if you don't want your dog to get completely thrown off then take your own know there using the restroom times i worked in the back at the kennels so the people in th back need to know that and if you would like and don't know the vet ask to see the kennel area i know i work for two and one was not clean at all tell them if they do anything out of the norm to call you or your bill might rack up fast for know reason take some treats it alway makes them more comfortable with the people to have something from home take your own food bowls this might sound weird but i would not let my two drink out of vet bowls at all to many dogs use them evan if their washed
