Why Geriatric Care Matters
Just like people, senior pets are more prone to certain health challenges, including:
Arthritis and joint pain
Kidney and liver disease
Heart conditions
Dental problems
Cognitive decline
Weight gain or loss
Decreased mobility
Regular veterinary care is essential during this stage of life to catch changes early and manage chronic conditions with dignity and compassion.
What to Expect from a Senior Wellness Visit
We typically recommend biannual checkups for senior pets to monitor their health more closely. During these visits, we may recommend:
Comprehensive physical exams
Bloodwork and urinalysis to evaluate organ function
Weight and body condition assessments
Nutritional counseling and mobility support
Pain management and arthritis therapies
Dental care evaluations
Behavioral and cognitive health screenings
Every pet is different. We’ll work with you to tailor a plan that keeps your senior companion as active, happy, and pain-free as possible.
Enhancing Comfort and Quality of Life
Our focus is on maintaining your pet’s comfort and helping them stay engaged with your family. From managing chronic pain to recommending lifestyle adjustments, we’re here to support both you and your pet every step of the way.
