Question 1

How often should I take my dog to the vet?

Accepted Answer

Healthy adult dogs should have an annual wellness exam. Puppies need several visits in the first year for vaccinations and deworming. Senior dogs (7+ years) benefit from twice-yearly checkups.

Question 2

When should I have my dog neutered?

Accepted Answer

The ideal timing depends on breed and size. Small breeds can be neutered from 6 months; for large breeds, vets often recommend waiting until growth is complete (12–18 months). Discuss the best timing with your vet via AnimalChat.

Question 3

What should I do if my dog won't eat?

Accepted Answer

Short-term loss of appetite can be harmless (stress, heat). If it lasts more than 24 hours or comes with vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, see a vet promptly. Ask the AnimalCoach for an initial assessment.

Question 4

What vaccinations does my dog need?

Accepted Answer

Core vaccinations include distemper, parvovirus, leptospirosis, and rabies. Depending on lifestyle, additional vaccines like Lyme disease or kennel cough may be recommended. AnimalCoach helps you keep track.
