Annual Health Check & Consultation

One visit a year. A lifetime of health.

At Eureka Veterinary Clinic, we’re committed to helping your pets live long, healthy, and happy lives. One of the most important things you can do for your pet is to schedule a yearly health check — even if they seem perfectly well.

These appointments allow us to detect health issues early, guide preventive care, and work with you to keep your pet feeling their best.

🩺 One year in your pet’s life = six to seven human years — so a yearly vet visit is like a human visiting the doctor every 6+ years.

What’s included in an annual check-up?

During your pet’s annual consultation, we’ll perform a thorough physical exam and provide tailored advice around:

• ✅ Vaccinations and ongoing protocols
• ✅ Parasite prevention: fleas, ticks, intestinal worms, and heartworm
• ✅ Nutrition, weight, and body condition
• ✅ Dental health
• ✅ Arthritis and mobility concerns
• ✅ Behaviour, mental wellbeing, and lifestyle
• ✅ Age-appropriate care and support

The importance of annual blood and urine screening

Many of the most serious pet health conditions — like kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, thyroid imbalance, infections, and even early-stage cancer — can exist without any obvious physical signs.

That’s why we strongly recommend annual blood and urine testing, especially for:

• Senior pets (7+ years)
• Pets on long-term medication
• Pets undergoing anaesthesia or surgery
• Pets with chronic conditions
• Owners who want the reassurance of early detection

🧪 Fast, in-house results — no long waits

Unlike human medicine, where you may wait days or weeks for blood test results, we’re able to perform most tests right here in our clinic using our modern in-house lab.

That means:

• Rapid results — often on the same day
• Less stress — fewer visits and faster answers
• Quicker decisions — so we can start treatment or reassurance right away

These tests help us build a clearer picture of your pet’s health and catch subtle changes before they become serious.

Prevention is the best medicine

Regular check-ups combined with routine screening form the foundation of lifelong care. By picking up on problems early, we can manage them more effectively and keep your pet feeling better for longer.
