Our Senior Preventive Care Package

As they age, your pet's health risks increase, making semi-annual exams an essential part of their care. When we can identify a disease or other problem before it causes clinical signs, your pet's treatment will be much more successful. Our senior preventive work-up breaks down all of the services we recommend for their needs. This complete screening diagnostic is suggested for seemingly healthy pets over 7 years old, the age at which "invisible" health changes start taking place within the body.

Complete lab work including:
- Full body function
- Thyroid level
- Urinalysis
- Screening tick test
- Intestinal parasite testing
- Chest X-rays to evaluate the heart, lungs, and thoracic cavity
Screening for cancer, kidney disease, heartworm disease, dental disease, arthritis, and much more
Blood pressure check
Radiographic review by a veterinary radiologist
Complete abdominal ultrasound
Additional testing may be recommended based on earlier findings
