I JUST EAT WHEN I'M
HUNGRY.
I'M VERY COMFORTABLE
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS
IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE
SEGMENTS ON "LIVING
808."
GENTLE VETS HAWAI'I KAI.
WELLNESS GOES BEYOND,
HEALTHY STUFF THAT KEEPS
YOUR PET HEALTHY.
I LOVE TALKING WITH YOU
GUYS.
WE TALKED ABOUT SO MANY
TIMES ABOUT ISSUES WHEN
PETS GET KICK BUT
PREVENTATIVE CARE DOES
MAKE A BIG DEAL.
OUR GOAL IS NOT JUST
FOR VACCINATION AND
PARASITE FECALS, IT GOES
BEYOND THAT, IT GOES
BEYOND THAT.
IT'S BASICALLY REGULAR
BLOOD WORK, ROUTINE
SCREENING, EVEN DIETARY
AND BEHAVIORAL
MANAGEMENT.
WOW.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT
PROACTIVE PREVENTATIVE
CARE TO KEEPING THINGS
AT BAY, PROBLEMS AT BAY.
IT'S NOT JUST TO KEEP
THE PROBLEMS AT BAY BUT
CREATE THE QUALITY OF
LIFE.
TO EAT WAY ARE -- WITH A
ROTTEN TOOTH HURTS.
IF WE TAKE CARE OF
THE BAD TEETH, THAT DOG
IS GOING TO LIVE A
HAPPIER LIFE BECAUSE
HE'S NOT LIVE IN PAIN
ALL OF THE TIME.
WE WANT TO INCREASE THE
QUALITY OF LIFE.
IF YOU NOTICE A LITTLE
BIT OF GRAY HAIR SHOWING
UP ON DOC'S FACE HERE.
THESE GUYS LIVE WAY TOO
SHORT AS IT IS AND IF WE
CAN STRETCH IT A FEW
YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO BE
HAPPY ABOUT DOING THAT.
YOU'VE SAID IT
BEFORE.
OUR PETS CAN'T SPEAK.
BRINGING THEM IN AND
BEING PART OF THAT
PREVENTATIVE LIFESTYLE,
IT KEEPS PROBLEMS, AS
YOU WERE SAYING, AN
OUNCE OF PRE REVENGE
HERE MAKES A POUND OF
DIFFERENCE LATER.
WHAT TYPES OF THINGS
SHOULD WE BE BRINGING
THEM IN FOR?
IS IT SOMETHING I SHOULD
NOTICE WITH MY PET?
FOR ROUTINE WELLNESS
EXAM, THE MORE REGULARLY
WE SEE THEM, THERE'S A
IMPORTANCE OF BASE LINE
VALUES FOR OUR PETS.
EACH PET IS INDIVIDUAL
PHYSIOLOGY.
SO WE KNOW WHAT'S
ABNORMAL AND HAS NORMAL.
YOU HAVE A BASE LINE
YOU CAN TELL WHAT'S THE
DIFFERENCE.
YES.
PETS AGE
ACCELERATION, YOU KNOW,
WAS 56 DAYS IS LIKE A
YEAR.
IF YOU THINK IT'S
BEEN A YEAR SINCE ABOUT
A BROUGHT MY DOG IN,
IT'S ACTUALLY SEVEN
YEARS.
IT'S LIKE AFTER YOU
GOING AFTER A YEAR IS 57
DAYS.
I SAW MY DOCTOR LOOK AT
MY DOG A YEAR AND A HALF
AG.
THAT WAS TEN YEARS AGO.
THINK ABOUT THE LAST
TIME YOU SAW YOUR DOCTOR
WAS TEN YEARS AGO.
THAT'S AMAZING.
ARE THERE CERTAIN
THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO
FOR SENIOR PET CARE,
SOME THINGS WE SHOULD
KEEP IN MIND THAT'S
DIFFERENT FOR PUPPIES OR
YOUNGER DOGS.
FOR OLDER OR SENIOR
DOGS, USUALLY AROUND 7
TO YEARS IS MORE
FREQUENT VISITS.
LIKE JOE SAID, THEY GET
OLDER FASTER.
SO WE ROUTINELY CHECK
ESPECIALLY YOUR
ARTHRITIS, WE CHECK FOR
HEART DISEASE.
WE CHECK FOR URINE
CHECKS TO MAKE SURE THE
KIDNEYS ARE OKAY.
JUST GENERAL OVERALL AND
MORE FREQUENT VISITS FOR
THEM SO WE CAN MANAGE
ANYTHING WE'VE SEEN
EARLY.
WE'VE SEEN YOUR
GREAT, GREAT FACILITY
BUT ALSO YOUR EQUIPMENT
ALLOWS YOU TO GET MORE
BASE LINE THINGS.
WE'VE GOT RIGHT AWAY
OF YOU COME IN TO SEE
US, WE CAN GET ALL THOSE
BASE LINE BLOOD WORK, WE
DO IT ALL IN HOUSE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF ANSWERS
IN TEN OR 12 MINUTES.
IF WE NEED AN ULTRASOUND
OR CAT SCAN, WE NEED TO
PICKED UP ON PHYSICAL
EXAMINATION LIKE HEART
DISEASE.
WE HAVE OUR WELLNESS
PLANS WHICH INCLUDE FREE
OFFICE VISITS.
SO COME IN EVERY MONTH,
THAT'S FINE.
WE WANT TO SEE YOUR PET
EVERY MONTH.
IT'S NOT COSTING YOU
ANYTHING ON YOUR
WELLNESS PLANS.
AS HE GET OLDER, YOU
KNOW THEM, THE BASE LINE
IS THERE.
I'VE GOT TO ASK TOO, THE
WELLNESS PLANS ARE SO
GREAT, ONCE YOU GET THEM
STARTED WITH A PET
KINDERGARTEN GOING
FORTH, IT'S A
RELATIONSHIP.
I SEE MY PET EVERY DAY,
BUT IF YOU SEE THEM ONCE
A MONTH, YOU CAN PICK UP
IF YOU ARE WORRIED
ABOUT SOMETHING, ALWAYS
CALL THE PROFESSIONALS.
THE BIG GAME IS THIS
DOG ATE SOMETHING THAT I
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
YOU YOU SAW AT PARTIES
PEOPLE BRING PETS TO NEW
HOUSES.
DO YOU SEE THAT DURING
THE BIG GAME WEEKEND.
WE CALL GARBAGITIS.
IF WE GET A BUNCH OF
RIBS OR A BUNCH OF
FRITOS OR WHATEVER IT
IS, THEY ARE GOING TO
EAT STUFF DURING THE
SUPER BOWL.
I HAD A HORRIBLE CASE
WHERE SOMEBODY TOOK THE
ARE IN DRIPPINGS, POURED
THEM OVER THE FENCE ON
TO THE PIECES OF GRAVEL
AND THE DOG EATS 17
PIECES OF GRAVEL BECAUSE
IT TASTE SO GOOD.
WE'LL BE MORE THAN
HAPPEN TO TAKE CARE OF
WHATEVER YOU ARE USE
CROP UP DURING THE SUPER
BOWL.
I LOVE HOW YOU GUYS
CAME IN.
GET AHEAD OF THAT, GET
ON THEIR WELLNESS PLAN.
LOOK AT THIS GUY.
HAVING A BASE LINE GOING
FORWARD.
AGAIN, IT BLEW MY MIND
WHEN WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT ONE YEAR IS SEVEN
FOR A CHECKUP, IT MAKES
A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
MY DOG ATE I THINK A
WHOLE CORN ON THE COB
