Comprehensive Pet Health Checks in Clarkson, WA
Early Animal Health Checks for a Healthier, Happier Pet
Dogs and cats age, on average, five to eight times faster than humans. By age two, most pets have already reached adulthood. At age four, many are entering middle age. By age seven, many cats and dogs, particularly larger breed dogs, are entering their senior years.
Why Annual Health Checks Are Essential
Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in a short amount of time. The risk of heart disease, arthritis, kidney disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and other serious conditions all increase with age. Early detection is important, and annual health checks can help your veterinarian diagnose and treat problems early or even prevent problems from occurring altogether, therefore enabling the best possible outcome for your pet.
Annual health checks also offer you a great opportunity to ask us about nutrition, behaviour, or any other topics.
