Caring for your older pet...

   A significant number of pets we see are senior citizens of the canine and feline world. We feel it is particularly important to monitor these pets routinely. It may be necessary to increase the frequency of physical exams for your older pet. Routine blood work and urinalysis are also important as many problems can be detected early, and therefore treated earlier and more successfully.

   We look at each pet as an individual and make suggestions based on what we see and learn from you. We realize that as a pet ages, many issues get more difficult to deal with. It is our desire to help you as much as possible through your pet's later years.

   Often a neglected area of good health, proper diet is a vital component of preventive medicine. Nutritional requirements vary widely according to species, age and medical conditions. Whether your pet is old or young, obese or thin, with cardiac or kidney problems, we can assist you in choosing the best prescription diet or wellness diet for your pet.
