Canine Platinum Plan

Animals’ health care needs change as they get older. As you can imagine, the veterinary care a young dog requires is vastly different from that of a senior dog. The Canine Platinum Plan includes all basic wellness items such as necessary vaccinations, heartworm testing, intestinal parasite checks and dental cleanings.
For dogs on the Platinum Plan, we use Sevoflurane anesthesia as opposed to Isoflurane during the annual dental cleaning. Both anesthetics are acceptable, but Sevoflurane is easier on older pets’ bodies as they go under and when they are wake up. Older dogs’ body systems have changed drastically over the years, so it is important to take all the necessary precautions to keep them well. We also perform dental x-rays to look for underlying problems we cannot detect during physical examinations.

Heart disease is a common concern for older pets. This being the case, we take yearly x-rays of the chest to watch for any changes as your pet ages. We will also use a specialized tool to check for blood pressure changes every year.

When we carry out extensive annual blood work for our Platinum Plan members, we get a complete blood count, check the thyroid and carry out urinalysis using 25 chemistries.

We believe in preventative care for pets of all ages. Senior dogs on the Platinum Plan will have the very best preventative care available to extend their lives with you as long as possible. We conveniently distribute all of this annual veterinary care into monthly payments over the course of one year.
