Veterinarians spend a great deal of time asking and answering questions to understand as much as possible about an individual dog, writes Dr. Byron de la Navarre. He suggests dog owners come prepared with six questions:
- “How often should I bring in my pet for wellness visits?”
- “Should I give my pet once-a-month parasite protection medication, and why?”
- “Do you think the weight of my pet is OK and healthy? If not, why and what should I do?”
- “Is it important to care for my pet’s teeth? If so, why? And how do I do it?”
- “What is the importance of vaccinating my pet, and is it required?”
- “Is there one best food to feed my dog? If not, what should I look for when selecting a particular brand?”
