Welcome to our NEWS section!

Scottsboro pet owners are you asking, "How Old is My Pet in Human Years?"

As your pet ages - their healthcare needs become greater.  Since pets age at a faster rate than humans, we recommend an exam every six months after your pet reaches age 7 in order to ensure your older pet is happy, healthy and pain-free.

Good senior pet health care requires attention to several factors:

• Diet and weight management


• Joint health


• Cancer screening


• Heart disease screening


• Dental care


• Diabetes screening


• Function of thyroid, kidneys, and liver


• Eye and vision health


• Pain management

Regular Preventative Care Exams are Important for Senior Pets

Regular exams and testing allows us to determine what is normal for your pet. Knowing these results help us detect any abnormalities or problems early. When diagnosed early, many conditions can be successfully managed to lead to better outcomes for your pet and treatment costs can often be reduced.

Williams Animal Clinic has developed a comprehensive senior wellness program designed to meet the changing needs of your pet as he or she ages. Our senior wellness program includes:
