Advances in veterinary medicine have allowed your pet ever greater longevity! Therefore, certain age-related medical problems are more common now than they were in the past. "Senior" pets require health checkups at least once a year and, in some cases, more frequently. These also require diets and specific exercise. We want to help your pet enjoy as many years as possible by your side. If your animal develops a health problem it will be important to identify and treat it as soon as possible, because the sooner it is identified the better the results we can get.
