Dogs and cats age on average seven times faster than people. Taking a pet to the vet even once per year is equivalent to a person seeing their doctor or dentist every seven years!

By the age of five, most cats and dogs are into middle age and by seven they are into older age. Significant health changes can occur in a very short period of time.

For older pets health checks give the opportunity to prevent or treat problems before they become life threatening. Early detection can help in disease prevention and can minimize suffering. The best approach to caring for your pet’s preventative health needs includes comprehensive physical examination and preventative diagnostics to establish baseline blood work, identify health problems and to monitor progress during treatments.

A regular health check can help your pet live a longer, healthier and happier life.
