SENIOR PET EXAMS
When your pet reaches his or her “golden years,” they require special care.

Early diagnosis helps you and your veterinarian manage these diseases more effectively.
In addition to this testing, twice-yearly examinations will be recommended to ensure your pet receives the best care as he or she ages.

Specialized Care For Aging Patients
Most of us remember being told that 1 year of a dog’s life is equal to 7 years of a human. While this averages out, we must also take into account the size of the animal.
Example; An eight year old Great Dane is a senior citizen while an eight year old Miniature Poodle is only middle aged.
As our pets age there are a number of diseases and conditions that can impact them and shorten their lives and decrease their quality of life.
Early detection allows for early intervention helps us to prevent serious harm and/or slow the progression of any disease.
We can diagnose conditions such as diabetes, heart and liver disease, arthritis, hypothyroidism, as well as different types of cancer.
We encourage all owners of middle aged and senior pets to get them on a regular plan of preventive health care to keep them happy and healthy for as many years as possible.
