Regular Checkups—The foundation of a healthy routine
Dogs and their routines. Breakfast at 7:30am, dinner at 6pm. Every dog has his or her signal to tell you that it's time to eat, time for a walk, time to play and time to sleep.

Really, it's no different than for a human. We need our routine checkups to maintain good health, to prevent and to detect illness. For dogs, routine check-ups are even more crucial as they age an average of seven times faster than we do. At Banfield we recommend that your Pet receive a comprehensive physical exam every six months so that your veterinarian has the opportunity to help prevent and identify any potential issues.
