Thread: How often do you visit the vet?

  1. #1

    How often do you visit the vet?

    Just wondering how often everyone visits the vet?

    We go once a year.

    EDIT: If you go more than 4 times a year than just vote that and post about how many times.

    Depends! Marta usually has to go in a few times because of something, Adele is barely ever sick and only goes in once a year, Vallis has had to go in a few times already and we've only had him 2 months! Seine has been in twice this last year, once for her shots, once to get spayed...

    If they are completely healthy, at least once per year, but something usually happens and they need to go more often.

    My dogs go in once a year, or once every couple of years.

    I go a minimum of 10 times a year but that's simply because I have 10 pets.

    We go whenever we need to with Sasha (border collie cross - 12 years old). With Sebastian my 5 year old ferret, if the latest lupron shot does what it is supposed to then we will be seeing the vet once a month, rather than every 2 months.

    Each dog goes once a year - unless something comes up and they get sick, hurt, ect. Knock on wood, that hasn't happened yet. They get their annual booster shots and then any updated shots they need, rabies, ect....

    Minimally once a month, but that's if everything goes smoothly. More often it's at least 2x a month with a middle of the night emergency call about 4 times a year. I've already been once this week with two dogs and I'll be back on Friday.

    We go twice a year. But thats only because Jack and Kyra go in the spring, and the rest go in the fall for thier annual check up and shots. Usually thats all the time we spend at the vets, but this last year we had to go a couple more times because things with Shadow and Micki kept popping up.

    none of the above. we only take them to the vet if needed which is rare, Misty is 3 years old and had not been to the vet since she was 16 weeks old. Blairs last visit was when he was fixed. Happys last visit was a few months ago, she she is usually there about once a year for the simple reason of injurys, she has a tendancy to get herself injured. Perky has not been since we adopted her almost 6 years ago, Ripley has not been since he was fixed at 8 months old, he is 5 years old in a couple days.
