Protect your pet— the first step is
knowledge Wellness Profiles can provide you and your veterinarian a clear picture of your animal’s overall health. It can help identify problems early so your pet can be diagnosed and properly treated; or, if all tests are normal, provide comforting peace of mind. Including a Wellness Profile with your pet’s physical examination will provide a more complete picture of your pet’s overall health. It will help you know that you’re doing all you can to keep them healthy and happy. But what if my dog looks and acts perfectly healthy?We cannot stress this enough: We strongly believe in the power of preventive health care! As we try to convey on a regular basis, bringing your pet in for a thorough physical exam once or twice a year is the cornerstone to keeping your pet happy and healthy. But sometimes, a physical exam just isn’t enough; the physical may give clues but there are many conditions, which can only be detected by laboratory tests or additional diagnostic procedures. What can we do about problems when we find them? Many problems such as heart or kidney disease can be minimized by dietary changes. Newer arthritic drugs have been helpful in relieving your pet’s discomfort. It is important to monitor oral health since dental disease can have secondary changes in the heart and kidneys.

Where should I start with my dog?We can help you decide which level of the "Special Health Care Program" for your older pet is most appropriate, and make decisions regarding follow-up visits to monitor changes in the years to come. Special Canine Health Care Programs:"Junior" and "Adult" Wellness Profiles:A "Junior" Wellness Profile is indicated for dogs between 2 and 6 years of age, and the Adult Wellness Profile is indicated for dogs beginning at a “human relative age” of 40 years. These profiles use blood tests to evaluate internal organ function, especially the liver and kidneys, and monitor changes in red and white blood cells. It provides a “snapshot” of your pet’s health to help us monitor changes in the years to come. ► Junior Wellness Profile for Dogs (pdf) ► Junior Wellness Profile with free heartworm test (pdf) ► Adult Wellness Profile for Dogs (pdf) ► Adult Wellness Profile with free heartworm test (pdf) “Golden” and “Senior” Wellness Profiles:Beginning at a “human relative age” over 50 years, the “Golden” and “Senior” Wellness Profiles are more thorough than the “Adult” Wellness Profile. They include a urinalysis, which aids in detecting early stages of kidney disease, one of the more common problems seen in older dogs. ► Golden Wellness Profile for Dogs (pdf) ► Senior Wellness Profile for Dogs (pdf) “Comprehensive” Wellness Profile:A “Comprehensive” wellness profile includes evaluation of your senior pet’s complete health status. Chest x-rays are added to provide more “pieces of the puzzle” when assessing your pet’s health status.
