"In 2001 a very special little kitten came to stay at our house named Emma. She weighed in at a whopping 2 ½ pounds. When she was about 9 months old she began vomiting and wouldn’t eat. The doctors at Piney Creek Square Veterinary Clinic took x-rays, but nothing showed up on them. She was losing weight, and she was thin by nature anyway, so everyone was worried about her. Dr. Behrns came to the rescue and performed emergency surgery on our little girl. She found an almond trying to pass into Emma’s stomach. Of course, it would not have shown up on an x-ray. Thank you, Dr. Behrns, for saving Emma’s life."

Senior dogs need regular veterinary care to ensure optimal health and quality of life. Our wellness plan saves you money on the total cost of recommended preventive care and treatments. Best of all, this plan features budget-friendly monthly payments—making it easy to manage your dog’s healthcare costs.
Dogs age a lot faster than we do
The age at which your dog is considered “senior” depends on breed and size. Senior dogs are at greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer and many other age-related problems.
Disease can creep up quickly and quietly
Aging means more than just gray muzzles and longer naps—illness and disease could be lurking undetected in your senior dog. Physical exams and diagnostic tests are crucial for finding problems not visible to the naked eye.
Prevention is the key to better health
Thanks to advances in veterinary medicine, pets are living longer, healthier lives than ever before. Preventive care can improve your senior dog’s quality of life and help you enjoy more healthy years together.
