Pets age more rapidly than humans. The average life span for dogs and cats in the United states is 7.4 years. The POTENTIAL life span for the average dog or cat in the United States is 15 years. Comprehensive medical care, good nutrition and proper training allow pets to live up to their potential as long term family members.

All pets, seven years of age or older, should have some basic evaluations performed to insure maximum health. These tests should include:

Complete Physical Examination
Baseline EKG
Blood Chemistry Test for Organ Function
Urinalysis
Glaucoma Screening

To arrange for Senior Wellness Testing for your pet, please telephone our office and set up an appointment. You will need to leave your pet at 8:00 a.m. the day of the examination. No food should be given after 6:00 p.m. the night before the examination. Specimens of stool and urine should be brought in, if possible.

Remember that early detection of health problems can minimize progress of many abnormal conditions and help you enjoy your companion much longer. A complete wellness testing, performed every two years, is the best gift you can give your senior pet.
