Your Pet is Considered to be a Senior at the Age of Seven Years

Our goal is to provide the personal attention you deserve while giving your pet the expert compassionate medical care that you expect.

In order for us to continue our efforts in maintaining our goal, we have established the Silver Whiskers Senior Wellness Program. This specially developed program for older pets uses comprehensive diagnostics and preventative medicine, enabling us to provide better care for your pet and help them go through the aging process with grace and good health.

With some extra TLC from you and our staff, your pet can be on his or her way to many happy, healthy senior years.  We look forward to working with you and answering any questions you may have about our Silver Whiskers Program!

Senior Wellness Program Procedures

Annual Exam

An exam is not just a chance for the vet to see how cute your pet is. A thorough physical exam can pick up a variety of illnesses and prevent potential catastrophic diseases.  By diagnosing and treating your pet early, your pet will live a longer and healthier life.

Fecal Parasite Test

This is a microscopic evaluation of your pet's stool performed annually, which tests for giardia, hookworms, roundworms, and other internal parasites.

Silver Whiskers Blood Panel

For senior dogs and cats we perform tests for not only kidney and liver functions, but also a thyroid test and urinalysis. Accompanying this will be a blood pressure check. We want to make sure that the internal systems of your pet are as healthy as what we can see on the outside!

Dental Exam

We look more specifically for periodontal disease which is extremely common in both dogs and cats.

Eye Exam

We check your pet's vision and perform a glaucoma screening test.
