Medical conditions of our senior pets can be best treated and managed when detected at an early stage. Pets age on average 6-7 years to every human year. A check up only every 6 months would be comparable to senior humans only seeing a doctor or dentist every 3.5 years. Check ups include physical exam, oral/dental exam, blood testing, and parasite screening.
