Many medical technologies that help humans live longer, healthier lives are now available to your pet. We can get a wealth of information about your pet's health with a few simple blood tests.
Senior Wellness Screening is recommended for your cat or dog. As dogs and cats move into the senior phase of life, they experience changes that are similiar to aging in humans. Diseases and conditions that are commonly known to affect older people also affect our canine companions; kidney, heart and liver disease, tumors, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, thyroid conditions, and loss of sensory perception. Understanding these changes and how you can provide for your pet's needs are essential to quality of life.
Age is never just a number but rather a measure of the effect of aging to the body. Variables such as genetics, nutrition and environment all contribute to how your dog will handle the aging process. For practical purposes, your pet is considered to be a "senior" at 7 years old. Small dogs tend to have a longer life expectancy than medium to large breeds. Since dogs age more rapidly than people, dramatic changes in health can occur in as little as 3 to 6 months.
Senior Wellness Testing includes sensitive laboratory tests which can detect the onset of disease and degenerative conditions early, when treatment and prevention are most effective.
