Growing older doesn't have to mean feeling worse.

If your senior pet is sleeping more than usual, slowing down on walks, struggling with stairs, or showing changes in appetite or behavior, it may be time for a wellness visit. These subtle changes can be easy to overlook, but they can also be the first signs of an underlying health condition.

A checkup can help your veterinarian identify concerns early and keep your pet comfortable and thriving in their golden years.

Routine wellness exams are one of the best ways to help your cat stay healthy, catch concerns early, and keep them feeling their best through every stage of life.

If it's been a while since your cat's last visit, give us a call to schedule their wellness exam.

Kricket's Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are dental therapy dogs. When her oldest stopped responding to sounds, her local vet could not find a reason.

She drove several hours to find a team with experience treating the breed. We found yeast buildup in his ears. Ear drops cleared it, and he could hear again. Her younger dog Meg had a recurring issue the family had never gotten clear guidance on.

They left with answers and a plan they could follow at home.

"Beyond anything that any local vet has helped us with." — Kricket
If your pet has something that has gone unresolved, we would rather hear about it three times than miss it once.

A pet’s age is influenced by their species and weight, which affect how quickly they move through life stages. This means your pet may be older than you think, and their care needs can change sooner. Review the chart to see your pet’s age in human years, then schedule their next wellness appointment to ensure they’re getting the recommended care for their stage of life.
