  Most dogs need regular vet visits based on their age. Puppies require frequent visits every 3–4 weeks for vaccinations, adult dogs should see the vet once a year for preventive care, and senior dogs need checkups every 6 months to catch age-related issues early. Dogs with health conditions may need more frequent monitoring. Staying consistent with these visits helps detect problems early, reduces long-term costs, and keeps your dog healthier for longer.
