Default Annual Checkup Thoughts?

I spoke to my new Vet and Vet tech yesterday regarding my babies and what they do for an annual check up. I was wondering what everyone else gets done.


I asked if they preform a fecal and urinalysis test during the exam and the Vet Tech said that not usually unless the Vet feels there is a need or I request it to be done. Should I be requesting it be done once a year?


Additionally, I was told their are two types of fecal exams one that tests just parasites and one that includes GRD testing. Is there one better than the other? I thought only puppies get GRD.


My babies aren't due for their annual exam until Sept. but since I am a person that likes to budget for everything I am starting to save money for all the costs since it is twice everything with them.


Listed below is what I am planning on asking for their annual exam. I was wondering if I am missing anything. They have a 3 year rabies shot so that is not needed this time. The costs seem reasonable to me. I would love others thoughts


1. Wellness Check $40.00
2. Blood work (CBC/Chem Lab) $150.00
3. Da2PPV $35.00
4. Bordatella $25.00
5. Heartworm Test $40.00
6. Fecal Exam $60.00
7. Urinalysis $70.00
