Both cats and dogs are considered seniors at age 7 and a proactive approach should be taken with your pet’s health. Your pet may seem happy and robust, but the gradual onset of disease can easily go unnoticed. Once symptoms do appear, the condition may be difficult and costly to treat and diagnose. This is why a Wellness Exam is so important to the quality of your pet’s life.

A Wellness Exam includes a physical exam and laboratory tests that the doctor can use to diagnose blood disorders, kidney and liver disease, diabetes, infection, cancer, thyroid disease and other hormonal problems. Many of these conditions can be prevented, controlled, or completely reversed if diagnosed early. A Wellness Exam also gives the doctors a benchmark from which to measure future test results should your pet become ill.
