Different sized Dogs and Cats age at varying rates, with larger animals reaching “Senior” status much sooner than smaller pets. While each pet reaches “Senior Hood” at a different age, most pets become seniors between 7-10 years old. Its important to know your pets age, so you know when he or she becomes a senior. Ask your Veterinarian about when your pet’s needs may begin to change. For dogs and cats over the year of 7, we recommend screening for Blood Pressure, CBC (Complete blood count), CHEM screen (liver and kidney function), Urinalysis, Thyroid function testing, Heartworm blood test, Fecal test, and Glaucoma testing.
