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.
