Best Friends Veterinary
Medical Center
The number one thing you can do for aging pets is make sure your pets have regular wellness exams. These checkups are designed to recognize potential health risks, detect illness earlier and benefit the overall health and quality of life of your pets.
Between regular wellness visits, it is important that you monitor your furry friends’ health at home. Since the aging process in pets is accelerated, small changes can mean big problems!
