Increase Your Senior Pet’s Longevity and Maintain Overall Quality of Life

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.

“We found Four Paws @ Four Points and were very happy with the care that the staff and doctors gave our dogs, but were even more impressed with the care that they give to both me and my wife. The care and professionalism that we get is wonderful. We always felt confident in the professionalism and top notch care that our dogs received. Once the treatment is over, the doctors and staff always follow-up to make sure all is going well. This type of care and professionalism is something that is hard to find. Over two years ago, we moved much further away and thought we could find another veterinary clinic closer to our new house. We were spoiled and forgot that not all vets have such a relationship with their clients and we did not feel the same level of comfort. After a couple of visits to the new clinic, we really missed Four Paws @ Four Points so we now drive the extra miles for the best care in the city. ” — Eric H.
