But sometimes changes get missed as pets mature. You may see changes in their habits as signs of getting older. But those changes may be the first signs of illness. That’s why we developed the VCA Senior Wellness Workup Plus. To meet the special medical needs of pets as they age. It’s a unique panel of 30+ crucial tests plus X-rays of your pet’s chest and abdomen—all designed to more accurately monitor your pet’s health and well-being. So you can catch an illness before it becomes a serious, hard-to-treat condition.

can begin treatment immediately, if necessary.
