Senior Wellness Package Now Available!
Have you noticed your cat hesitating before making what was once an easy leap off the
couch; or perhaps you’ve noticed your dog has lost the spring in their step and your daily
walks are taking longer? Senior pets, although possibly feeling discomfort, get up and get on
with life as if it was another great day. Sore or stiff joints, painful teeth and needing a few
extra naps each day can go unnoticed as they try to please you or their stomach.
Is My Pet Senior?
Small dogs & cats over 7 years and large breed dogs over 5 years are considered seniors.
How Can I Help My Pet Live Longer?

get older. Detecting and correcting problems early gives you and your vet the very best
chance to prolong and maximise healthy life of your pet. The “Senior Wellness Package” not

you, through early detection, from paying for costly veterinary treatment and surgery in the
future.

Houndy Highlights— Diamond
Diamond is a very handsome 3yo white and black boy. He is
calm and polite with large and small dogs but not suitable
to a home with cats at this point in time. Very sudden
movements can sometimes cause him to startle so a calm
home with no or older children (12+) would be preferable.
Diamond loves company so a friend or an
owner who is home a lot would be perfect!

Insurance Inspiration— Bella
Bella is a very sweet Cavoodle that has visited us a
little more than most young pets. Although only 24
months old, Bella has had a lot of sensitivities
including pancreatitis and a sensitivity to an ingestible
flea treatment.
Bella was insured from a puppy which has been a
very lucky decision for Bella’s owners. They have
been eternally grateful to have her insured and know
the medical expenses will be reimbursed after her
hospital visits.
Is My Pet Sensitive Too?
Discovering your pet is sensitive to certain items whether it be diet,
environment or prophylactic treatment can be very obvious or be flying under the radar for quite some time. Your pet could be very uncomfortable but
you just didn't know what to look for.
Signs your pet may be sensitive to a certain item can be internal with
vomiting, flatulence or diarrhea or externally with itching, rashes, redness,
ear issues or general poor skin condition.
What Can Be Done About My Pets Sensitivity?
Depending on your pets symptoms the first step would be to eliminate a
disease or illness with a trip to the vet. Allergies and sensitivities can be
complicated or very simple. A simple diet change or shampoo may be the
answer or your pet may require a bit more help. The goal is to ensure your
pet is comfortable and enjoys life without having any long term
unpleasantness to silently deal with.
If you’re concerned your pet may be sensitive to something call
us on 4365 1086.
