How often do you visit the vet?

[critter crazy]

we usually go once a year, but sometimes more if we need to.

My cats usually once a year. My dogs, I've lost count.

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.

i voted 4 times a year, but i actually take them more. i take all my rescues, permanent dogs, and some dogs that aren't even mine to the vet. i go about 20 times a year, easily.

once on a good year but usually 2. This past year he went twice about his anal glands and almost had to have them removed, and for his anual check up. Other years he sprained his tail and (unrelated) the vet wanted him to come in right after a seizure for a blood test to see what was causing it. (Mild form of epilepsy, it turns out)

Before the raw diet - dozens of times a year, easily. Especially when I worked at a vet, I would take them in for any little thing since I had a 50% discount on the bills.

After the raw diet - I'm predicting once a year, since they have only gone for routine things (vaccines, which I have since stopped) since starting the diet almost 6 months ago. Mandy and Nova were "problem children", always at the vet, but not anymore!

We're going this afternoon. We think she has allergies but don't know for sure. I think she is okay though. Just a checkup. That raw diet seems to have a lot of good effects on dogs. I hear a lot of good things about it.

Depends. If the dogs are sick, then they go to the vet. Otherwise they go for their nessacery check ups and shots.
