[Felina]

I’ve come to the realization that I cannot trust my Vet clinic to remind me when my two yorkies (and my other various critters) need their various routine shots and/or office visits. When I’m there with one of my dogs I always ask when and what is due next for that dog.

Apparently, I’m not always given the correct answer as I’ve found out this week (and every time I call and talk to a different person I get a different answer). So I definitely need to be more pro-active in keeping my various vet records organized so I know what each pet needs next and can schedule office visits accordingly.

After all the puppy shots and spaying/neutering the first year, what is required for the next year?

Physical (once a year)
Fecal test (once a year – usually same appointment as physical)
Heartworm blood test (once a year – usually same appointment as physical)
Bordetella (once a year – usually same appointment as physical)

Rabies Shot (every 3 years)


Distemper -- not sure how often this is needed …. Is it once per year ???

Teeth Cleaning -- once every two years as needed ???

Is there anything else I’m missing?
