It's National Senior Pet Month! Thanks to better care, pets are living longer now than they ever have before but as pets get older, they need extra care and attention. Regular veterinary examinations can detect problems in older pets before they become advanced or life-threatening, and improve the chances of a longer and healthier life for your pet. If you have a senior pet (typically 7 years of age for cats and small dogs, 5-6 years of age for larger dog breeds), be sure... they're having routine wellness exams - just give us a call at (816) 252-5105 to schedule an appointment for your sweet senior pet today!

If you have any questions or concerns, you should always visit or call your veterinarian they are your best resource to ensure the health and well-being of your pets.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month! If you’ve been thinking about adding a four-legged-friend to your family, consider opening your home and your heart to an older dog or cat in need. While small kittens and puppies may be adorable, older pets are just as loving and loyal as their younger counterparts. Not to mention, adopting a senior animal companion comes with some cool advantages:... Grown-up pets don’t require the constant monitoring and training that puppies and kittens do. Many are already house-trained. Since senior pets are fully grown, you’ll be immediately aware of important information like personality type and grooming requirements, making it easier to choose the perfect pet for your family.
