Did you know that the oldest recorded age for a dog is 29 years, and the
oldest cat is 34? While your pet may not break the record for living the
longest there are many ways to ensure that your pet has a long and healthy
life. Preventive Medicine is key.
Examination of new pets is recommended before introducing them into your home
environment. We will be able to detect congenital problems, and expose
infectious diseases or parasites before they have a chance to contaminate
your other pets. During the examination we will discuss proper health care
and vaccination schedules for your new pet. This is the perfect time for you
to ask questions of your veterinarian.
Annual Physical Examinations of your pet are extremely important. These
thorough examinations allow your veterinarian to pick up any problems in
their early stages and recommend treatment. Annual visits are also the time
for updating your pet's vaccinations, for receiving nutritional counseling,
and for dispensing flea and tick prevention products, as well as a time for
you to discuss any changes in your pet's behavior.
If your pet is between five and seven years old, you already have a pet
reaching middle age. You may begin to notice a reduction in your pet's
physical capabilities. Now, before your pet shows signs of advanced aging,
is the time to begin a proper care program. We offer a special health care
package for aging pets, which includes blood tests, an EKG, radiographs, and
other diagnostic tests and examinations. We can help you extend not only
your pet's life, but also quality of life.
