for Cats & Dogs in Fishers, IN

At Fishers Veterinary Hospital, we strive to offer lifelong care for your pet. This only becomes more important as your beloved pet enters their golden years, and may require more comprehensive care to ensure they continue to age comfortably by your side.

The Importance of Biannual Pet Exams

As your pet ages, their needs may change and so can their health! The team at Fishers Veterinary Hospital can help you navigate these changes, which is why we recommend biannual wellness exams for senior pets, so our team can keep track of your aging pet’s health and address any issues they may discover. The earlier we are able to address a medical issue or illness, the more effective treatment is likely to be.

What to Expect at Your Senior Pet’s Visit

Our team will assess your pet by performing a complete physical exam as well as screening lab work in our in-house laboratory to check for any underlying issues. We will also discuss if any adjustments need to be made to their care and can create a treatment plan tailored to their needs if necessary. Please let your veterinarian know if you’ve noticed any behavioral changes with your pet as well, as this may be indicative of a change in their health.
