That depends on the size, age, and overall health of your dog but, in general, puppies should see the Vet at least four times during their first year. Adult dogs (generally, anything from 1 to 6 years old) should see the Vet at least once a year. Senior dogs (7 and up) should see the Vet every 6 months. However, if your dog is on certain medications (insulin, carprofen, meloxicam, etc.), monitoring bloodwork may be needed more frequently.

Most veterinarians will say once a year, but there are some that say twice a year is best. Normally when dogs need to have shots the veterinarian does a quick check up anyways, but just like humans, a dog should have a yearly "physical" just to make sure that everything is as it should be.

Before getting another dog you should rule out other things that might be wrong. What type of food are you feeding? Is the right kind for your dog? Is something disturbing the dogs sleeping patterns? Is the dog sick? The best thing would be to consult a vet in your area and have a general checkup done first
