WELLNESS RECOMMENDATIONS
A checklist for maintaining your pet's health
The theory is that every one year of our lives equals 6-7 years
for dogs and cats. Thus, an annual examination schedule for pets
is like humans going to the doctor once every 6 years. These are
our minimum recommendations to ensure that you and your pet
have a long healthy relationship. It's called the human-animal
bond, and it is a wonderful unconditional love!
