About

Our pet’s lifespan is much shorter than ours and consequently, they age much faster than we do. It starts out at a 10 to 1 ratio for the first year and transitions to a 5 to 1 ratio in their geriatric years. An annual comprehensive physical exam is equivalent to once every 7 years for pets. Much can change in this time period.

Through the physical exam and lab tests, early detection is possible. There are many diseases like kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, and glaucoma that when identified early are treatable and often times curable.
