Senior pets hold a special place in our hearts.

As pets age, their health needs change. More frequent exams and bloodwork help us catch issues early and keep them comfortable.

If your senior pet is due for a check-in, we would love to see them.

Call (978) 687-8400 to schedule.

More time outside means more things to watch out for.

As the weather warms up, keep an eye on:

• Hot pavement that can burn paws
• Standing water with bacteria or algae
• Toxic plants and lawn chemicals
• Wildlife encounters

A few precautions go a long way.

Pets are good at hiding when something is wrong.

Routine bloodwork can detect issues early, often before symptoms appear. It helps us establish baselines and track changes over time.

When was your pet's last wellness screening?

Call us at (978) 687-8400 to schedule an appointment!

One flea can produce up to 2,000 eggs in her lifetime.* By the time you spot one on your pet, the problem is likely already growing in your home.

Save $20 on a 6-pack of Simparica Trio® or Revolution Plus® through August 14. Prevention is always easier than dealing with a full infestation.**
