Older dogs merit special attention and regular wellness checks. This is important so that if your dog develops a disease, it can be recognized and treated as early as possible, thereby maintaining his or her quality of life for as long as possible. Dogs in general are good at masking illnesses, and as they age this can be life threatening.
Thanks to The Grey Muzzle Organization, Rockbridge Animal Alliance were able to assist many senior dogs in 2023, ages 7 and up, residing in Rockbridge County, Virginia with free wellness exams, preventative vaccines, and a diagnostics. This program was so successful, we felt it was important to continue to offer this program. Our dogs give us many years of love and companionship. Lets make sure we make their golden years as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
PLEASE BE AWARE: If you have been granted a voucher and do not show-up for your scheduled appointment at one of our participating veterinarians, we will not offer services to you in the future. Veterinarians are extremely busy and booked well in advance. You are expected to have consideration for others and be a responsible pet owner.
