Standard Poodle Exams.

You should have your standard poodle exams at least once per year. This goes for all house pets. It is important for your pet to be examined by a veterinarian. Because animals will age approximately seven times faster than we do, a lot can change for them in one year.

Sometimes these changes are obvious to pet owners because they are physical or behavioral in nature. In other cases, these changes may be subtle. Regardless, when a pet is seen by our veterinarians for an annual exam, we will assess your pet from nose to tail, making sure we address your questions and discuss the physical exam findings.

In some cases, blood work or other routine tests may be recommended to ensure that your pet is healthy. Vaccine boosters may also be administered during the annual exam if your pet is declared healthy enough to receive them.

Lastly, because federal law mandates an annual exam to maintain prescriptions, it is important to understand that we cannot dispense medications without examining your pet at least once per year.

I have two standard poodles that are looking for a girl friend. We live in Minnesota.

Have a great day.
