Two Easy Steps to Better Health

 

You are the one who cares for your pet day in and day out  and therefore you may notice subtle changes in behavior or physical abilities.  Please take a few moments to review the age chart and complete the checklist, then discuss them with the doctor.  What may look like normal signs of aging could actually be early signs of a manageable health condition.  Early detection can mean a longer life for your pet!

 

Is your pet experiencing any of these?

 

Please indicate if your pet is experiencing any of the signs below and review with the veterinarian.
