PRIMARY CARE INFORMATION
Pets age seven times faster, on average, compared to humans. Most dogs and cats reach adulthood by age two. By age four, many pets are entering middle age. By seven, most dogs particularly larger breeds, are entering their senior years.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Major health changes can occur in a short amount of time due to dogs and cats aging so rapidly. The risk of dental disease, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, arthritis and cancer all increase with age. Many of these diseases and conditions can worsen within a matter of weeks. No matter the age of your pet, it is a good idea to do a yearly checkup including blood work - just as us humans should have done regularly. This can help you get ahead of any potential health issues you pet may develop. Even pets that appear normal can have an underlying problem that may only be detected during an examination by your Veterinarian.
6 MONTH HEALTH CHECKS
Because dogs and cats age at a quicker pace, they should receive a wellness exam from a veterinarian twice a year. Twice a year wellness exams can help your veterinarian diagnose, treat or, ideally, prevent health problems before they become life-threatening. They also provide an opportunity to discuss nutrition, behavior and other concerns with your veterinarian. A check up with a doctor every 6 months can help your pet live a longer, healthier and happier life. Help your best friend feel better at every age. Schedule your pet's six-month wellness exam today!
