Important facts about senior testing

An aging pet’s organs gradually deteriorate and may lose their ability
to function properly. We use senior testing to promote early detection
and treatment of disease, so we can maintain health and prevent illness
during your Pet’s senior years. Early detection of disease often
gives us more effective and less costly treatment options. In addition,
senior testing also helps establish normal baseline values for your pet,
creating a point of comparison for the future

Is my Pet a senior?

If your pet is 7 years old or older, we consider him or her senior. Your pet may
seem healthy well into his/her senior years. However, many problems common to
senior pets (like kidney or heart failure) may not be present symptoms until your
pet becomes seriously ill. “Senior Seven” is our comprehensive senior care
program that helps to identify problems early enough to institute preventive
healthcare measures.
