Geriatric pets have special needs. Most importantly, geriatric pets should have physical exams every 6 months to identify abnormalities before they become a problem. Pets over the age of seven should have geriatric bloodwork done to screen for developing problems. Some breeds are predisposed to heart disease and need electrocardiograms to screen for the onset of heart disease. These screening tests enable us to identify problems and begin treatment as soon as possible. The doctors and staff of Acre View Pet Hospital understand that pets are an important part of your family and strive to maintain a great quality of life for aging pets!
