Senior Wellness Care


Pets over the age of seven are considered seniors. As in all stages, our goal for the golden years of your pet's life is to provide a healthy, comfortable, long life. The best way to do this for our seniors is to catch diseases early and treat/monitor illnesses that have already been diagnosed. If illnesses and diseases are diagnosed and treated early, it can add years to your pet's life. Since changes happen rapidly in animals, senior wellness exams are performed every 6 months. We also recommend that blood and urine be tested once a year. At your pet's senior wellness appointments, the doctor will perform a full physical exam and discuss any changes in your pet's lifestyle. At this point, the doctor will review with you the different options available for bloodwork or other diagnostic testing and make recommendations specific to your pet.
