Health Checks

At Your Pet’s Vet, we provide quality preventative healthcare for your pet. This allows them to live the healthiest, happiest and longest life possible.

On average, pets age 5 to 8 times faster than humans – meaning that by age 2, most pets have already reached adulthood. At age 4, many are entering middle age and by age 7, many dogs, particularly larger breeds, are entering their senior years.

The Importance of Health Checks for Pets

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

Annual health checks will help your veterinarian diagnose, treat and even prevent problems before they become life-threatening. They’re also a great opportunity to ask us about pet nutrition, behaviour or any other issues.
