After the age of 7, wellness exams become essential in maintaining your pet’s health and increasing his or her longevity. During this stage in your pet’s life, our wellness exams often include:
- Comprehensive physical examination
- Dental exam
- Diagnostic testing individualized for senior pets
- Digital radiographs
- Vaccine updates, depending on your pet’s lifestyle
Regular checkups are especially important as your pet ages. These help our veterinarians to identify disease in its early stages, which allows us to treat it more effectively. At Millbrae Pet Hospital, our goal is to ensure that your pet is well cared for at every stage of his or her life — be it 10 months or 10 years of age.
