Because of this, it can sometimes be difficult to identify when there is a problem. In addition to this, dogs and cats age much quicker than humans; for example, a 20kg dog that is 10 years old in human years, is actually the equivalent of a 60 year old human. Because of this, we recommend yearly health checks- this may be with their vaccination, or at a separate time. This gives our veterinarians the opportunity to try and identify issues early, before they become a significant problem. Depending on your pets’ physical examination, the veterinarian may recommend performing further tests, such as blood tests.
