- Health Checks
At Your Pet’s Vet, we provide quality preventative healthcare for your pet. This allows them to live the healthiest, happiest and longest life possible.
On average, pets age 5 to 8 times faster than humans – meaning that by age 2, most pets have already reached adulthood. At age 4, many are entering middle age and by age 7, many dogs, particularly larger breeds, are entering their senior years.
- Importance of Health Check
Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in a very short amount of time. The risk of cancer, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, heart disease and other serious conditions in animals all increase with age.
Annual health checks help your veterinarian diagnose, treat and prevent problems allowing your pets to live the healthiest, happiest and longest life possible.
