SENIOR PET CARE QUESTIONNAIRE 

IS MY PET A SENIOR??

If you answered YES to any of the following, your pet is showing signs of advanced aging.  Pets 6 years of age or older are considered "seniors" and they require careful monitoring of aging signs to make sure that they receive appropriate medical care to maximize their health and fitness. 

Our goal is to provide quality educational information to clients that will allow them to assess and monitor their pet's senior needs.  Our veterinarians recommend senior wellness visits every 6 months which follows the  best practice guidelines of the American Veterinary Medical Association.  By scheduling a senior checkup for your pet, our veterinarians will be able to evaluate your pet's medical condition and recommend an individualized senior program.  Call 248-585-2622 to schedule a senior checkup appointment.
