Taking your pet to the veterinarian for an annual checkup is an important part of your job as a responsible pet parent. Have you ever left your vet and realized that you should have asked more questions while you were there? We know you take great care of your pet on a day-to-day basis, but your vet has the experience and years of education needed to diagnose and treat health issues. However, it's easy to forget to ask questions while you have one-on-one time with your vet. We want to make sure you are walking out of your vet appointment feeling confident that you have a complete understanding of your pet’s overall health and wellness.
The next time you are at the vet, take this checklist of questions with you so you can be proactive in your pet's care, as well as be on the lookout for any symptoms before they get serious. Armed with these questions, you can feel confident that you and your vet are doing all that you can to ensure that your pet leads a healthy and happy life.
