How old is your pet in human years?

It is estimated that your pet ages five to seven years for every one of yours, which suggests that health problems in your pet can progress at a faster rate. Therefore, a physical exam is recommended a minimum of twice yearly (every 6 months) in order to identify potential problems quickly in older pets. By working with your veterinarian, you can help prevent or treat many of the age-related conditions and enhance your pet's quality of life.

Use the chart provided below to find the relative age of your pet. If your pet's relative age is over 40 years we recommend a Senior Pet Exam that may include a physical, bloodwork, urinalysis, EKG, and xrays. Each pet is different and the exact procedures included in your pet's Senior Exam will be determined by you, your pet and your veterinarian.
