Past Events:

Some breeds are considered "senior" as early as seven years of age.

September Was Senior Pet Health Month!

Just because your pet is getting older doesn’t mean that slowing down, gaining weight, and changes in behavior are inevitable. In fact, most changes associated with aging in pets can be treated or even prevented.

Senior pets need more attention than they did when they were younger, even if they’re healthy. Dogs and cats age five to seven times faster than people do, so health condition changes can occur much more quickly. Some of the same diseases and conditions that affect people, including arthritis, cancer, dental disease, diabetes, intestinal issues, thyroid problems, and heart, kidney, and liver diseases, also affect pets.With advances in pet nutrition and veterinary care, our pets are living longer. To help get the most from that extra time with your senior pet, we recommend bringing them in for a complete physical examination once every six months, along with routine testing once a year to help detect diseases early, when they are easier to treat.

Please contact us today to schedule a senior wellness exam. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have about your pet’s health. Let’s work together to keep your pet happy and healthy!

 

Spring Open House

Held on May 19th, 2009
5:00pm-7:00pm

Our Spring Open House was a success! We also held the latest installment of our Client Education Series.

We welcomed all of our clients to meet our staff, tour the facility, and see what we have to offer you and your pet! We also invited folks to take part in an interactive lecture on Pet First Aid and Safety. Common emergency topics were covered and all participants had the chance to palpate pulses, apply bandages, and learned how to safely handle their pet in an emergency.

A first aid manual created by one of our veterinarians was given to all participants and there was a raffle for a free pet first aid kit!
Light refreshments were served.

A copy of the emergency manual is also available here.
