How Old Is My Pet?

The first year of a pet's life is roughly equivalent to about the first fifteen years for a human and two pet years are equal to about twenty-four human years. After that, each year for a pet is equivalent to four years. This age comparision table provides general age comparasions between dogs and humans.

Cats are considered to be entering their senior years at age seven. The table on the left provides age comparisons.

 

Vaccinations

The technology used to produce vaccines has improved, and growing evidence shows that vaccines protect our pets longer than previously believed. With the changing vaccination protocols, an annual wellness exam is necessary. We use this time to create a vaccination program for your pet that is based on our geographic region and your pet’s lifestyle and potential exposure to disease.

 

Behavioral Counseling

We can provide educational information and assistance on basic training behavioral issues. For more involved issues we will refer you to behavior specialists or trainers in our area.
