Adult Dogs and Cats:
Old age is NOT a disease

We now offer an affordable comprehensive Wellness Plan.
To download our plan go to - Adult Wellness Plan (Canine) / (Feline)

Old age is NOT a disease, but many diseases associated with old age are preventable or successfully treated if detected at an early stage. Just as many 80-90 year old people can remain active and free from discomfort, your pet, with your attention and our help, may be able to avoid most of the debilitating problems of advanced age. Most diseases associated with aging are gradual in onset. Our Adult Canine     Wellness Plan and our Adult Feline     Wellness Plan offers low cost, comprehensive plans that include the most essential healthcare preventives for your aging pet.

Our junior and older pets require considerable veterinary care as they mature and become older, which can be costly. Thus, we added to the plan an additional 12 months of cost saving discounted services. Keeping your baby pets healthy, engertic and alert throughout their lives starts with an early intervention.

Waiting until your pet's problems result in severe illness too often means unnecessary pain and discomfort for your much loved companion.		Your pet deserves better than that!
Our hospital's goal is to help your pet enjoy the longest, most comfortable life  by disease prevention, early diagnosis and specific control or treatment.
