How do I know if my dog needs a veterinary check-up?
assistant
If your dog is showing any of the following symptoms, it may be time for a veterinary check-up: decreased energy and appetite, vomiting or diarrhea, coughing or difficulty breathing, excessive shedding, changes in behavior such as aggression, depression, or changes in sleeping habits. Additionally, regular checkups are recommended every 6 months for dogs that have been spayed/neutered and annually for those that have not been.
