Dogs and cats age on average, five to eight times faster than humans. By age two, most pets have already reached adulthood. At age four, many are entering middle age. By age seven, many cats and dogs, particularly larger breed dogs, are entering their senior years.
Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in a short amount of time. The risk of heart disease, arthritis, kidney disease, cancer, diabetes, obesityand other serious conditions all increase with age. Early detection is important and annual health checks can help your veterinarian diagnose and treat problems early or even prevent problems occurring altogether, thereforeenabling the best possible outcome for your pet. Annual health checks also offer you a great opportunity to ask us about nutrition, behaviour or any other topics.
Whether your pet needs a general check-up, has developed a new symptom, or simply isn’t acting like themselves, a consultation with one of our experienced vets is the best place to start.
We take the time to listen to your concerns, conduct a thorough clinical examination and assessment of your animal. We pride ourselves on providing sound, practical advice and ensuring our clients can make informed decisions regarding their animals' health care, tailored to their individual needs, history and lifestyle.
We also know that veterinary visits can sometimes be stressful, for pets and owners alike. We strive to take steps to ensure the process is as smooth as possible by providing a calm and supportive environment.
