November is Senior Pet Awareness Month - and thanks to advances in veterinary care and nutrition, our pets are living longer lives than ever. But like their human counterparts, pets require additional routine wellness checks to ensure they age as gracefully as possible.
As our furry friends grow older, they are more susceptible to diseases of the kidneys, liver, thyroid and cardio-vascular systems. Pet parents are advised to be more diligent about dental care, as some of these problems are directly linked to advanced dental disease. Older pets are also more prone to arthritis and cognitive decline. Senior pets should be thoroughly examined by your family's veterinarian at least twice per year. From now until December 31st, we are offering a 20% discount on our canine and feline senior wellness packages. Call us today to schedule an appointment for your senior friend - and for what it's worth, we prefer the term "vintage."
