Your pet's complete senior testing program includes these elements:

A Physical Exam:
The most important part of the senior care program. Your veterinarian will assess all body systems to check for any abnormalities

Blood chemistry tests
We will measure levels of various substances in the blood and diagnose diseases such as diabetes, liver, and kidney failure.

A complete blood count (CBC)
This provides a detailed look at the blood itself and helps the doctor diagnose anemia or infection.

Heartworm testing
We will check for heartworms in dogs. Heartworms can be fatal to your pet.

Urinalysis
This will give us information on kidney function and checks for urinary tract infections

Thyroid screen (T4)
This helps diagnose thyroid disease, which is an especially common ailment in older dogs.

Glaucoma testing
This measures the pressure in each eye quickly and painlessly using a tonometer.Undetected glaucoma leads to irreversible blindness

Blood pressure measurement
This lets our team check for hypertension. Just as in humans, high blood pressure in pets can lead to kidney problems, heart disease, blindness, and other complications.

Dental with Anesthesia
We will check for gum disease, and decaying teeth. Includes a full cleaning to help prevent bad breath and tooth decay.

Nail trim
Keeps nails healthy and strong

Radiograph (X-Rays)
Generally, we perform chest radiographs to assess the heart and lungs, However, your veterinarian may decide a different set of radiographs would be more important for your pet.
For example, he or she could recommend abdominal radiographs to assess the liver or kidneys. This is an important and vital part to the senior care program.

FeLV/FIV
We recommend this test for senior cats. It tests for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency viruses, which can suppress the cat's immune system and lead to secondary infections, anemia, and even cancer.
