Pets age much faster than humans and pets can be considered to be entering their senior years at around 7 years of age.

Pets can start to develop diseases such as heart and kidney disease, diabetes and cancer. Many of these diseases can go unnoticed in the early stages. At South Cranbourne Veterinary Surgery we recommend routine health checks and monitoring, ideally every 6 months, to ensure early identification of issues. During these examinations the veterinarian can discuss other issues common with our older pets, for example arthritis, senile behaviour, dietary management and weight issues.

Together we can help your pet enjoy a long and happy life.
