SENIOR WELLNESS PROGRAM

Dogs and cats are now living longer! We would like to make these years the happiest and healthiest as possible. Since pets age more rapidly than people, health changes can occur in as little as 3-6 months. Pets are considered “seniors” at the age of 7. Some changes may occur in appetite, stiffness, weight gain/loss, dental disease, vision, hearing, plus many more!

We would like to help identify these changes early, in order to keep your pet’s quality of life at it’s best. Screening tests may be done to test blood and/or urine for problems that may not be visible yet. Please notify the veterinarian if you are seeing any changes in your senior pet! We're pleased to introduce a program that will help us provide the best care for your senior pet…

Celebrate Seniors! Living longer, living better-starting at age 7!

Senior age pets, ages 7 years and older, undergo aging changes in organs and tissues the same as do elderly humans. It has been documented that many of the chronic disorders and disease processes seen in senior pets can be either cured or at least medically controlled if they are detected early enough. Earlier detection and prompt treatment of medical conditions improves the chances that senior pets will live longer, happier, and better quality lives. We want to keep you and your loved pet together for as many years as possible!

As your pet enters his/her senior years, he/she may start to develop diseases common to senior human counterparts, such as diabetes, cataracts, arthritis, hypothyroidism and cancer. These diseases can go unnoticed in their early stages and many develop rapidly, making regular monitoring and blood testing very important.

Pets become seniors much faster than people. Your pet ages roughly 6-8 years for each human year. By age seven, many pets are feeling the aches and pains of aging, and they cannot tell us what's wrong. Older pets' joints and organs don't function as efficiently, and health and comfort can be compromised.

You play a key role in maintaining your pet's health because you know your pet better than anyone else. With your watchful eye and our medical care, we can establish baseline information, identify illnesses early and provide effective treatment to help your pet avoid serious or life-threatening conditions.
