Because our pets age at a quicker pace than we humans do, it is important that they receive appropriate preventative care, along with early disease detection screenings to identify any health concerns.
Pets 7 years or older should visit their veterinarian twice a year for wellness exams. These exams are the key to detecting any health problems that could endanger your pet.
