Pets age rapidly. Much faster than people. So diseases can develop more quickly in pets than in people. That’s why adult pets
— up to 6 years old — require regular checkups to be certain that we can detect and treat common and potentially life- threatening conditions, even before clinical signs appear. It’s the key to increasing your pet’s chances for a longer, healthier life. That’s why we offer this complete panel of tests at a significantly reduced cost — to encourage all pet owners to check their adult pets regularly — at least once a year.
VCA Durant Road Animal Hospital features a wide variety of wellness programs for pets of all ages. Our VCA Wellness Profile and VCA Wellness Profile Plus can help us protect younger pets from common preventable illness and disease. It's the best tool available to help us obtain a more accurate picture of your younger pet's health.
For adult pets age 2 to 6 years old, it’s important to have annual VCA Adult Wellness Profile Plus every year. Make an appointment today for an Adult Wellness Profile Plus.
