Why are yearly exams necessary for my pet?

Every pet should receive a yearly exam by a doctor. Sometimes there are little things about our pets that go unnoticed, and yearly exams are important find these things so our pets can live happy comfortable lives!

My own dog was in for her annual exam and guess what was found?  A fractured tooth!  She has no history of pain or a specific event that anyone in my household noted.  I’m always looking in her mouth so I know this happened in the last several weeks – just highlights the importance of a thorough exam on every pet!
