we go every 2 months for nails and anal glands so we have everything done when they tell us to. haha Otherwise once a year sounds right to me unless you have a pup that is.
After puppy shots and spay/neutering, I think once a year is sufficient. Then, of course, there are those that need their anal glands done and then I would say every month or two.
[MENTION=2298]luvdogz[/MENTION] - May I ask what they search for with the blood panel? I have insurance for Stig so I'm thinking that it may be worth it to get those done annually.
