Veterinary check-up: prevention for a healthy and happy life

A regular veterinary check-up is essential to look after your pet's health at every stage of its life. It not only allows you to treat diseases, but also to prevent and detect them before they become serious problems.

At Benivet Benissawe carry out complete and personalised veterinary check-ups for dogs, cats and other pets, tailoring each consultation to their species, age, size and lifestyle. Our team thoroughly assesses all aspects of the animal's health status, from general physical condition to behaviour and daily habits.

During the consultation, we review:

  • Weight, temperature and body condition

  • Condition of coat, skin, eyes, ears, teeth and gums

  • Cardiac, respiratory and locomotor function

  • Signs of chronic diseases, allergies or infections

In addition, we update your vaccination and deworming scheduleWe can answer nutritional questions and, if required, we can also carry out diagnostic tests such as blood, urine or imaging tests.

In older animals, we combine the check-up with geriatric assessmentsThe preventive guideline should be adapted to the needs of that stage.

Why is it important to have regular veterinary check-ups?

The veterinary check-ups should not be done only when there are symptoms. Including them as part of routine care is key to ensuring your pet's well-being and longevity.

Benefits of a periodic review

  • Real preventionWe identify health problems before they become serious, allowing us to act quickly and effectively.

  • Early detectionSubtle changes in behaviour or physical condition may indicate internal disturbances that go unnoticed at home.

  • Adapted careAt each check-up we adjust the guideline according to the life stage, breed, weight or clinical history of the animal.

  • Peace of mind for you: Knowing that your pet is well allows you to enjoy your pet without worries.

At Benivet Benissawe recommend that you carry out a complete veterinary check-up at least once a year. However, if your pet is a puppya senior or has a chronic pathology, it may be necessary to most frequent visits.

In addition, we take advantage of each review to answer questions about nutritionThe aim is to ensure that the patient's medical, behavioural or preventive health history is kept up to date.

According to the British Veterinary Association (BVA)Routine check-ups are essential to detect early signs of disease, even in apparently healthy animals.
