Medical and Wellness Consultations with Geriatric Patient Care
Evidence is overwhelming that a focus on prevention and monitoring will cost pet owners less over the life of their pet and allow their pet to live longer with less pain!
Our wellness protocols include vaccinations based on the lifestyle of your pet and routine blood tests to monitor their health.
In senior pets (over the age of seven), we recommend yearly senior panels, which include bloodwork and urinalysis. This allows us to find subclinical issues and intervene before they become dangerous or dramatic.
