Geriatric care in the late 1990s.
Geriatric health care remains a virtually untapped area in spite of changing public views and scientific knowledge on aging. The number of older dogs and cats will continue to grow into the next century. Owners of older dogs and cats are willing to invest in quality health care services. A geriatric health care program can expand veterinary services in a practice and is a natural extension of pediatric and adult maintenance programs.
