Bring in your senior pet to see us at least twice a year. Dogs and cats age much faster than we do and as a result, health problems progress much more rapidly. New Zealand pets are living longer than ever, and are increasingly suffering from many of the same chronic diseases that affect humans. 
These diseases include:
Arthritis
Cancer
Diabetes
Kidney failure
Dental disease
Liver and intestinal disorders
Behavioural issues relating to senility
Vision problems
Early detection is key, and fortunately there are many ways we can treat these conditions and improve the quality of your pet's life. You can also help us by looking out for changes in your pet, and bringing them to our attention as soon as possible.
