Being old is not a disease. Many times pain and stiffness can be treated so your pet has a more comfortable quality of life. There are many modalities available to us now to treat the aches and pains of arthritis.
We here at Animal Care Center of Green Valley believe that prevention is the key to pets having healthier, happier and longer lives. In keeping with that philosophy we know that when our pets reach a certain age they require more frequent veterinary checkups as well as senior screenings for common ailments. We all know that it is better to catch illnesses early and stepping up our vigilance in our elderly pets has provided many early diagnoses while diseases are still treatable.
If you are noticing any signs of aging in your pet, give us a call in order to set up an appointment to discuss it further with your veterinarian.
Well, the holidays are upon us once again. We sometimes forget during this time of "hustle and bustle" that a lot of things we encounter during the holidays can harm our pets. That yummy smelling turkey sitting on the table is irresistible to nosey dogs, but those bones can be very harmful and the meat, gravy, and other goodies on the holiday table may be too rich for delicate tummies.
As you get started on wrapping those Christmas presents remember that the ribbon you are using can be very enticing to curious feline and very dangerous. Keep looking on our website for more holiday information for your pets and always feel free to call our office with any questions.
