How Old is Your Pet?

Our pets age more rapidly than we do (5 - 7 years for every human year). This allows diseases and other health problems to develop more rapidly as well. Our best defense is awareness and prevention. If we can spot early warning signs, we can ensure your pet has a smooth transition from adult to senior years.

If problems are discovered, together we will adopt a plan of hospital or home care to increase your pet’s longevity and, most important, improve and maintain your pet’s quality of life.

This guide will help you determine your pets' age in human years.
