We Are Here to Help Ensure that Your Pet is Safe and Comfortable Throughout its Senior Years.
Pets age faster than people, and many dogs and cats can be considered seniors at around seven years of age. As pets get older, their health care needs change. Nutrition, activity level, weight, and daily routines often need adjustment over time. A key challenge is knowing which changes are expected with age and which may signal a medical concern.
Some health problems in senior pets begin with subtle changes that are easy to miss, such as small shifts in appetite, energy, mobility, breathing, drinking habits, or bathroom routines. Those early changes can progress until the issue becomes more serious and may require urgent care. That is why regular senior wellness visits matter.
Senior wellness exams allow us to track changes over time and identify concerns earlier. These visits often include a full physical exam and a discussion of any changes you have noticed at home. Routine wellness blood work and other diagnostic testing are important for senior pets because they help us evaluate organ function and detect changes that may not be obvious during an exam. These tests also allow us to see how well an existing treatment plan is working.
If your senior pet is already being treated for a condition, recommendations may need to change as the condition progresses. Medication dosages may need adjustment, a medication may need to be changed, or additional monitoring may be recommended. Regular rechecks help us make those updates safely and based on current findings.
Your senior pet’s wellness visit is also your opportunity to bring questions and concerns to our team. We welcome your questions and encourage you to be involved in decisions about your pet’s health.
Senior pets make wonderful companions, and advances in veterinary care have helped pets live longer lives. We are here to support you with proactive senior care and ongoing monitoring so you can make informed decisions as your pet ages.
