What tests are in my dog's annual checkup & how to check for obstruction?

Question

What all tests are included in a regular health checkup for Aura? Also I want to be sure that his stomach is clear of any obstruction as he is out playing most of the day. Any test for that? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 11 months and 14 days old | 53.7 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Aura. During an annual check up, he will be examined and vaccines are given. Fecal testing is usually performed as is a heartworm test. Blood work and urine testing is generally started around 2-3 years of age. X-rays of the abdomen can be used to look for an obstruction. I hope this information helps!
