January is Senior Pet Health Month!
We can't stop aging, but we can help our pets age happier and healthier. In most cases our pets age more gracefully than we do. So it is hard to think of our active, vibrant 7+ year-old pets as seniors, but physically they are. Early detection and preventive care are the keys to avoiding:
Heart Disease - Arthritis - Dental Problems
Cataracts - Kidney Disease - Hearing Loss
Weight Problems - Growths - Diabetes
So each year Allgood Animal Hospital dedicates December and January to making sure our senior pets are with us for a long time.
Our recommendations for good senior health include:
* A thorough physical examination every 6 months
* Yearly laboratory testing to check for anemia, infection, kidney and liver function,
diabetes, thyroid function, etc.
* Fecal examination and urinalysis
* Proper diet and nutrition
* Dental prophylaxis
* ECG, x-rays, and other procedures as needed
We feel that these things are so critical that during the month of January we will offer a 10% discount on all these services performed for our senior pets. Please call our clinic at
(319) 752 - 5983 to ensure a healthy future for your senior pet.
OUR PETS DEPEND ON US FOR THEIR CARE!
