Welcome To
Granite City
Pet Hospital

 

 

 

We provide special attention to aging pets focusing on preventative measures and the early detection and treatment of problems. Older patients commonly experience the same problems that older humans do – heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, chronic renal insufficiency, dental problems, hearing and vision loss, etc. Many of these conditions we can treat to extend and improve your older pet’s quality of life.

 

In order to obtain an accurate medical and behavioral history of your older pet, please fully complete this online questionnaire.  Please note any changes that you have observed, even if you feel they are less important than others are.  The doctor/technician will review this checklist with you.
