V
eterinarians hope to
reduce the rate of preventable diseases among
cats and dogs by urging
pet owners to schedule
veterinary checkups at least once per
year. Many practicing veterinarians are
seeing increases in pet obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, arthritis and heart
disease among pets – conditions that
can shorten our pets’ lives. That is why
pet-health experts and the Arizona
Veterinary Medical Association have
partnered in a comprehensive effort
to help pet owners understand that
annual checkups can help ensure that
pets live happier, healthier lives.
“None of us wants harm to come
to our animals, however, many pet
owners skip annual checkups,” says
Ron DeHaven, D.V.M., and chairman
for Partners for Healthy Pets. “Annual
veterinary checkups are as important
as food and love to a pet’s health and
well-being.” Only veterinarians have
the training to identify and treat preventable diseases and conditions that
can lead to better, less costly outcomes for pets.
Partners for Healthy Pets is a committee of the non-profit American Veterinary Medical Foundation dedicated
to improving the health and well-being
of America’s pets through regular preventive healthcare.
body condition, and gives senior pets
the nutritional support they need.
Your veterinarian will work with
you to decipher pet food labels and
explain what certain words mean (and
don’t mean). And if a pet food claims
to have “reduced calories,” he/she can
tell you if it’s the right choice for your
overweight pet. Your veterinarian also
will recommend the best food for your
pet’s age and lifestyle… a puppy or
kitten, an indoor adult pet, a working
pet or a senior.
Your pet can have a tickrelated disease... and you
may not even realize it
Is your dog tired or achy after a
walk? Is your cat eating less than usual?
These seemingly minor changes may
indicate a tick-related disease.
Ticks are tricky; they can be tough
to find because they’re small and hide
well in dark fur. But it’s crucial to find
ticks and remove them quickly. Some
ticks carry bacteria that cause disease
(such as Lyme disease, but there are
many others). It just takes one undetected tick bite for your pet to become
infected. Left untreated, your pet can
become very sick and develop kidney
damage, which can be fatal.
When detected and treated early,
tick-related diseases can be cured.

Gluten-free. Mature adult formula.
Holistic. No byproducts. Active formula. All natural. Farm fresh. The words
on pet food labels can be confusing.
How do you know which food is appropriate for your pet’s current age and
lifestyle?
The signs of nutritional imbalances
may be obvious on the “outside” when
you look at your pet – a dull coat, dry
skin. Your pet may be overweight or
have less energy. But it’s hard to know
if your pet’s nutritional needs are
being met on the inside.
An appropriate food provides optimal nutrients, such as calcium and
energy for puppies and kittens to grow
healthy and strong. It also keeps adult
dogs and cats at ideal weight and

Your veterinarian is an exper t at
tick checks and prevention. He/she
will give your pet a thorough physical exam from nose to tail, checking for hidden ticks along the way.
They also can discuss how to keep
your pet tick-free and determine if a
simple tick-borne disease-screening
test is needed.
Itchy Pet?
The majority of pets don’t have
fleas, but many have been bitten
because fleas are everywhere. Fleas
live outdoors in warm weather. They
can live indoors, too – even in a
really clean home – year-round in
any climate. And all it takes is one
fleabite (specifically the flea’s saliva), to set off a skin allergy. Pets may
scratch their sides and neck, or even
lick their paws until they’re red and
painful.
A little itch can develop into a fullblown skin infection, making your
pet miserable. Fleas will gladly hitch
a ride on your pet into your house.
Remember, fleas just take a quick
“blood meal” when they bite your
pet. The rest of their lives are spent
in your house – and flea eggs can lay
dormant in carpets, on floors or the
sofa for months to years.
Your veterinarian can help derail
the whole flea problem. He/she is an
expert regarding flea allergies, as
well as prevention, which is simple
and affordable.

For example, your dog may

stop jumping on your lap – not because
she’s being unfriendly, but because she
has arthritis and jumping is too painful
to her joints.
Left unchecked, the behavior may
worsen, the underlying illness may
progress (which puts your pet’s health
at risk), and most importantly, your pet’s
quality of life is compromised.
Your veterinarian has the expertise
when it comes to analyzing, identifying and resolving behavior issues with
your pet. During an annual exam, your
veterinarian will check to make sure all
of your pet’s behaviors are appropriate
and signs of good health. For example:
If your dog is petrified of fireworks, we
can discuss desensitization techniques
to provide relief.
If your older cat is suddenly drinking
a lot more water, a physical exam may
reveal that your cat has an illness. We’ll
run the right tests and prescribe medications if needed.
We can talk about your pet’s behavior. Some behavior issues are related to
medical problems, but many just require
new training strategies. Either way, we
can help fix those behaviors and give
your pet a new leash on life.

Fun Facts
Bye Bye Blues
Spending time with a pet can help
you shake (or even avoid) depression.
Unconditional love keeps people
positive, and even looking at your pet
increases the amount of oxytocin, a
ëfeel goodí chemical, in the brain.
Heart Health
Just petting your dog or cat can lower
your heart rate and blood pressure.
Some studies have shown that pet
owners have slightly lower cholesterol
levels and are more likely to survive a
heart attack.
Walk the Block
People with dogs tend to get more
exercise, and meet more neighbors,
than folks without a furry friend.
Exercise and social interaction are both
great ways to reduce stress and lower
the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Survival of the Fittest
A yearly visit to your family vet is as essential as food and love.
Make an appointment for an annual checkup today.
HealthyPetCheckup.org
You notice every little thing your pet
does, but did you know that dogs
and cats have evolved to hide illness?
Showing weakness makes an animal
ñ and their pack ñ vulnerable, so your
best friends do everything they can to
keep a stiff upper lip. Your veterinarian
can find problems your pet hides.

Ears
What your veterinarian
looks for during an annual
checkup (cats and dogs)
Your cat hears the can opener from a mile away, and
your dog is just as alert when the treat cupboard is
opened. Your vet helps keep it that way with exams
for infection and problems like ear mites.
Eyes
The Samples
Your vet looks for signs of glaucoma,
high blood pressure, jaundice,
infections and more.
Your vet requests a stool sample to check for
intestinal parasites. Blood work and urinalysis
also may be ordered to confirm your pet is
healthy and free of heartworms.
Mouth
Bad breath is more than a social faux pas.
Your vet checks for tartar, inflammation
and infections that can make your pet sick
or cause tooth loss.
Under the Tail
Your vet checks for anal
gland issues, tapeworms
and tumors.
Heart and Lungs
Skin and Coat
Your vet gets out the stethoscope
to listen for heart murmurs and
irregular beats. She’s also making
sure your pet’s lungs are clear.
Your vet will check for fleas,
ticks, mites, skin infections,
and lumps and bumps.
Joints and Spine
Just like us, pets feel their age. Your vet
will check the joints and spine for signs of
pain and tenderness – so you can take a
proactive approach to pain management.
Why A Checkup?
A yearly checkup is the best way
to keep your pet healthy ñ because itís
much easier to prevent disease than to
treat it. With regular checkups, your
veterinarian can spot problems at their
earliest stages, when issues often can be
addressed simply and cost-effectively.
So, whether your dog frolics at the park
with all the neighborhood pups, or the
closest your cat gets to the great outdoors
is a sunny windowsill, every pet needs to
see a veterinarian ñ at least once a year.
Pets age faster than we do, so missing
even one annual checkup can be like us
not visiting a doctor for more than five
years. Here are some questions to ask at
your next checkup:
What to Ask Your
Veterinarian: Dogs
Puppy, 0-12 months
ï When is the best time to spay/neuter?
ï Should my puppy be micro-chipped?
ï What and how often should I feed it?
How much?
Body

Your vet is trained to feel
for tumors, signs of pain
and enlarged organs.
ï Is there an optimal vaccination

ï Is it time for a dental cleaning?
ï What vaccinations does my dog
need?
ï Are there things I can do to keep my
dog even healthier?
ï Whatís the best way to deal with
fleas, ticks and other parasites?
When the vet gives your pet a rubdown,
she’s checking muscle tone, weight and for
enlarged lymph nodes that can be a sign of
infection or disease.
Mature, 7-10 years
ï What signs of aging should I look for?
ï Should I change my petís diet?
ï Does my dog need a dental cleaning?
ï What vaccinations does my dog
need?
ï Is my dog the right weight?
Senior, 11+ years
ï What physical and behavioral
changes should I be watching for?
ï Should I change or supplement my
petís diet?
ï Does my dog need a dental cleaning?
ï Are there things I can do to keep my
pet in better physical shape?
ï Does my dog need any special blood
tests or urinalysis?
What to Ask Your
Veterinarian: Cats
Kitten: 0-12 months
ï If my kitten will be an indoor cat, do I
need to spay/neuter?
ï When should I get my kitten spayed/
neutered?
