Silver Tails - FREE Health Check for Senior Pets
Free Senior Pet Health Check | Silver Tails Health Check | Cara Veterinary Group Dublin
As pets age, their health needs change. Cara Veterinary Group offers a FREE Senior Pet Health Check (Silver Tails Health Check) for dogs and cats aged 10 years and older. *Please note: this offer is for existing clients only.
Our FREE Senior Pet Health Check includes a full veterinary exam, blood pressure test, and urine screening to detect early signs of illness and keep your pet healthy and happy.
Free Senior Pet Health Check for Dogs and Cats
The years fly by, and before you know it, your once-playful puppy or kitten has reached their golden years. As part of our commitment to lifelong pet wellness, all existing Cara Veterinary Group clients with pets aged 10 and older are entitled to one FREE Senior Pet Health Check each year - also known as our Silver Tails Health Check.
Older pets can age up to seven times faster than humans, meaning they’re more prone to conditions like arthritis, diabetes, kidney disease, dental problems, and high blood pressure. Detecting these changes early can make treatment easier, more effective, and often less costly.
This free health check, valued at over €100, helps us identify and manage potential issues before they become serious — helping your pet stay happy and healthy for as long as possible.
