Common Items in a Dog Health Checkup
A routine dog checkup covers coat and skin, weight, temperature, eyes, ears, teeth, feces, X-rays, and blood work. Many diseases show no early signs and become serious or even untreatable by the time they appear, and older dogs face organ decline and age-related illness, so yearly exams are worthwhile. A typical visit measures rectal temperature (normal 38-38.9°C), checks eyes and ears for cleanliness, assesses coat and weight, examines the mouth for gum or tooth disease, and may add fecal, X-ray, or blood tests as needed.
