How often should my pet have a health check?
-
Usually, we advise yearly for pets with no existing health conditions. As your pet ages, or if they have ongoing medical needs, we often advise more frequent health checks so we can keep a closer eye on them. If you are part of the Kingsclere Members Club, your plan will advise on how often you should be seen.
