As pets age, their health needs change. Senior animals are more susceptible to arthritis, organ disease, thyroid issues, and sensory loss. Our senior wellness program is built to monitor these changes closely and intervene early, where we can do the most good.Senior exams include comprehensive bloodwork, urinalysis, and targeted diagnostics to evaluate organ function and catch age-related conditions early. We work with you to build a care plan that maximizes your pet's comfort through their golden years.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is my pet considered a senior?
Around age 7 for most dogs and cats, earlier for large-breed dogs. The transition is gradual -what matters is that we start looking for age-related changes before they become problems.
What changes should I watch for at home?
Weight loss, drinking more water, sleeping differently, stiffness, changes in appetite. Early changes are often subtle. If something feels off, it usually is.
How often should senior pets come in?
Every six months. A lot can change in half a year for an older pet -bloodwork, blood pressure, and a thorough exam catch things early when we can still act on them.
