What is Life Plan?
Life Plan is a program designed to tailor your pet’s yearly health check ups and vaccinations to their age and breed. Pets, like us, have a higher likelihood of certain illnesses at different ages. As your pet becomes older we will concentrate on different health issues with a strong emphasis on preventative health care.
When your pet is due for a health check, a reminder letter will be sent in the mail. This letter will contain a series of questions that may help us detect both behavioural and medical problems early. This will help us institute preventative health care programs before these conditions become severe. Certain tests, such as blood or urine tests will be recommended for specific age groups.
With kittens for example, out emphasis will be on parasite control and behavioural issues.
As you pet gets older we will begin to monitor for kidney disease and diabetes by getting you to bring a urine sample with you for your check up, and in the twilight years, we will recommend further tests such as blood tests and thyroid function tests to detect any illness early in the course of the disease.
What are the benefits of Life Plan?
Questions on your pet’s behaviour and the utilisation of specific tests will allow us to recognise any health problems much earlier. The early recognition of health problems will ensure that your pet’s health is optimised.
The major benefits of Life Plan, we hope, will include maximising the information that we can gain at each annual health check and minimising the impact of illnesses in your pet through early detection and implementation of preventative health strategies.
Our aim is “Healthier Pets for Life!”
