SENIOR PETS : AGE IS NOT A DISEASE!

Your pet is now considered a senior citizen but remember that age is not a disease! Seems shocking to most of us but any dog over the age of 7 years and cats over 8 years are considered geriatric. At this stage in life they become more vulnerable to many illnesses which means the progression of disease may happen quickly and healing time may be extended. Early detection of disease and illness allows a more cost effective solution and possibly prevention to extend the life and happiness of your pet.

Geriatric evaluations are recommended every 6 months to assess the quality of your pets’ health and lifestyle. We also recommend yearly blood analysis and urinalysis.

September is Senior Wellness Month and to confirm our sincerity for our older pet’s health and wellbeing, we are offering this senior wellness screening at a special price for the month of September. This senior wellness screening includes a geriatric exam, blood chemistry (evaluates major organs such as kidneys, liver, pancreas and so on), complete blood cell analysis, platelet count, urinalysis and thyroid screening.

Please call with any questions or to schedule an appointment today. While we can’t prevent aging, a majority of diseases are treatable and manageable if detected early.
