Compassionate Veterinary Care for Senior Pets

As pets age, their healthcare needs evolve, requiring specialized care to keep them comfortable, happy, and healthy. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your senior dog or senior cat enjoys their golden years with the highest quality of life through proactive wellness plans, early disease detection, and compassionate support.

Why Senior Pet Care is Essential

Just like humans, pets experience changes in mobility, metabolism, and overall health as they age. Regular veterinary visits become even more important to monitor age-related conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease, and cognitive decline. With preventative care and early intervention, we can help extend your pet’s lifespan and improve their quality of life.

Key benefits of senior pet care include:

Early Detection of Age-Related Diseases – Timely diagnostics help manage chronic conditions before they become severe.

Pain Management & Mobility Support – Treatments for arthritis and joint pain improve comfort and mobility.

Customized Nutrition Plans – Specialized diets support weight management and organ health.

Dental Health Maintenance – Routine dental care reduces the risk of infections and improves overall well-being.

Behavior & Cognitive Health Monitoring – Identifying signs of cognitive dysfunction allows for effective management strategies.

Senior Wellness Exams

Routine checkups are essential for detecting age-related health issues early. During these exams, our veterinarians conduct a full physical assessment, perform diagnostic tests, and evaluate mobility, vision, and hearing. Regular wellness visits help us track any changes in your pet’s health and adjust their care plan accordingly.

Pain Management & Arthritis Care

As pets age, they may develop arthritis or other joint-related conditions that affect their mobility and quality of life. We offer customized pain management solutions, including anti-inflammatory medications, laser therapy, and alternative treatments to help relieve discomfort and maintain movement.

Pet Dental-Care

Dental Care for Senior Pets

Oral health plays a crucial role in a senior pet’s overall well-being. Dental disease can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and infections that affect major organs. Our dental care services include professional cleanings, treatment for gum disease, and guidance on at-home dental care to maintain a healthy mouth.

Through diagnostic screenings, medications, and lifestyle adjustments, we aim to enhance your pet’s comfort and longevity.

End-of-Life Care & Support

When the time comes to make difficult decisions about your pet’s quality of life, we are here to provide compassionate guidance and support. Our end-of-life care services focus on pain management, hospice care, and helping pet owners navigate this emotional time with dignity and care.

How Often Should Senior Pets See the Vet?

We recommend bi-annual wellness exams for pets over 7 years old, as aging pets can develop health conditions quickly. More frequent checkups allow us to adjust treatments and monitor changes in your pet’s well-being.
