I mentioned my younger dog but I also want to share with you that I have two older dogs -- both are going to be 13 years old. One of them is a higher risk for surgery and anesthesia because she has liver, intestinal, and kidney disease and also has terrible allergies. She's had her teeth cleaned and has had teeth removed. She does great! Also, my other older boy had to have surgery last year (actually three surgeries) and I was concerned that he might have a heart issue because he had a murmur detected. We took him to a cardiologist vet and did a cardiac ultrasound. If you are concerned about the heart you could do that, but it probably isn't necessary if your vet listens to the heart and it sounds good.
