This week’s segment features Sophie the 7 year old yorkie and talks about our December 2025 special!! Sophie has been coming to us for regular blood work and screenings over the last few years. At her most recent visit, we were able to identify that Sophie was having some elevations in her liver values. With further testing we were able to pinpoint a decrease in Sophie’s liver function and get her on a treatment plan to give her a long and happy life! As dogs and cats age, their bodies undergo gradual changes that can increase the risk of developing hidden health conditions. Because pets often mask signs of illness, annual senior wellness screening is essential for early detection and prevention. A comprehensive evaluation—including physical examination, full blood work, radiographs (X-rays), and abdominal ultrasound—allows us to assess organ function, detect underlying diseases such as kidney or liver disease, diabetes, arthritis, and even certain cancers before they cause visible symptoms. Regular screening helps create a baseline of your pet’s normal health values, making it easier to identify subtle changes over time. Early diagnosis often means more effective treatment options, better comfort, and an improved quality of life. By committing to annual senior wellness exams, you’re giving your aging pet the best chance to stay happy, healthy, and active in their golden years.
For the month of December we are offering 10% off our senior bloodwork, ultrasounds and wellness x-rays! Give us a call at (662)524-4155 to keep your senior pet happy and healthy like Sophie!
