Our furry friends age much faster than humans so significant changes in your pet’s health can happen in a short time. Because of this, we recommend bi-annual wellness visits and annual bloodwork. Diseases like arthritis, heart disease, kidney and liver dysfunction, and many others become more prevalent as a pet ages. Sometime the early signs are very subtle so more frequent exams and diagnostic testing can help us to catch them early so we can be proactive as their health needs change to encourage a positive outcome. If we diagnose a chronic illness in your senior pet, we will work with you to lay out the best treatment plan possible. We encourage questions and want you to be involved in your pet’s care. Our goal is to ensure your best friend has a long, comfortable life.
