Dogs and cats age faster than people, and major health changes can occur in a short amount of time.
Some pets can be considered “senior” as early as 6 years of age, and these pets can develop many of the same
medical problems seen in older people. Pet preventive healthcare exams help your veterinarian diagnose, treat
and prevent many health problems before they become life-threatening.
Regular pet preventive healthcare exams are necessary to help your pet live a longer, healthier
and happier life. Talk to your veterinarian and schedule your pet’s preventive healthcare exam today!
