All living creatures eventually enter a sunset phase of their lives. For pets, it seems that their lives are much shorter than ours. It seems that way because it is shorter. We live our lives for 70 or 80 years, while your pet may live for 10 or 20 years.

 

As your pet ages, more maintenance is needed to insure that your pet lives as normal a life span as possible. By finding little problems as your pet ages, the big problems are put off or corrected. The effort results in your pet living longer.

We recognize the need for special care and detection of little problems as your pet ages. We call this geriatric care program the "Wellness Program" much like your aging parents get as they get older. The more diligent we are in detecting small problems in aging pets, the less likely they will die prematurely.

The Wellness Program is designed to maintain health and prevent illness during your pet's declining years by promoting early detection and treatment of illness. This is done by getting a baseline of information on the health of your pet through diagnostics before it shows signs of illness. After establishing the baseline of information, the wellness program involves regular examinations and periodic testing specific to each individual. The baseline information will help to determine whether your pet is in an early disease state. This information also provides you with more effective and often less costly treatment options, a longer life for your pet, and few surprises.
