Pets, on average, age 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 dogs, particularly larger breeds, are entering their senior years.

Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in a short amount of time. The risk of cancer, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, heart disease and other serious conditions all increase with age.

Today’s pets are living longer than ever, chances are that many may experience a potentially serious illness during their lifetime. Annual health checks can help your veterinarian diagnose, treat or even prevent problems before they become life-threatening.
They’re also a great opportunity to ask us about nutrition, behaviour or any other issues.

The annual health exam is one of the cornerstones of a preventive health care program to help keep your pet healthy and happy for a longer life.

Our appointments are 30 minutes long. The veterinarian will examine all areas of the body to check for abnormalities. Please raise any concerns you may have regarding your pet's health so they may be addressed completely. We really encourage this!
