Our brilliant legislators here in blue Oregon passed a law essentially requiring an annual check-up for dogs & cats. Your vet cannot treat an animal brought in for an emergency if they didn’t have that check-up. I wonder how many pets were ‘disposed of’ when their owners realized they’d have that expense every year.

My vet said I don't need to come in every year any more - since the vaccines are now good for 3 years. He left it up to me to come in for a checkup or not. I will hate it when he retires :(
