October 24, 2026

A health check once a year helps the vet find problems early, before your pet shows signs, for both dogs and cats. Here are the 6 steps the vet goes through for your pet.

6 steps of a health check

  1. Hello and physical exam — Checks how your pet walks, the joints and the heart sounds, done gently so your pet isn't scared
  2. Gentle tummy check — Feels the organs in the abdomen and looks for any sore spots
  3. Blood test — Checks how the internal organs are working, with our team holding your pet the whole time
  4. Ultrasound — A real-time look inside the abdomen when the vet recommends it (book in advance)
  5. X-ray — The vet points out each area so it's easy to understand
  6. Results and care plan — Everything is written down for you to compare next year
