Early detection is the key to pet health
Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in a short amount of time. The risk of cancer, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, heart disease and other serious conditions all increase with your pet’s age. And because today’s pets are living longer than ever, chances are many can experience a potentially serious illness during their lifetime.
Annual pet health checks are important
Annual health checks can help our veterinarians diagnose, treat or even prevent problems before they become life-threatening. They’re also a great opportunity to ask us about pet nutrition, pet behaviour and other issues. Give your best friend every opportunity to live a long, healthy and happy life.
