Senior Pet Health

Pets don’t slow down just because they are old- aging itself is not a disease. Many diseases affect aging pets, as with age, health problems tend to become more frequent. The immune system is less effective, and resistance to infection tends to decline.

 

Arthritis is much more common (although difficult to diagnose in some pets), and the effects of obesity or weight loss become more noticeable. Heart, liver, and renal disease become more evident. Old age need not be a slippery slope of infirmity. Senior Pet Health Checks allow early intervention allowing pet owners to control many disease processes. Our pets’ Golden Years should be as enjoyable as our own.   

 Benefits of a Senior Pet Health Check:

Many older animals suffer conditions that are not apparent to their owners.
The earlier a disease is detected and treated, the better the prognosis and outcome for your pet.

Pain and suffering may be prevented through timely Health Checks and blood tests.
