Senior Pet Care

The Golden Years with Your Best Friend

For pets over 7 years old, we recommend senior wellness exams twice a year. As pets age, they may require special diets and changes to their exercise routines to ensure they remain comfortable in their golden years.

Early detection is key to helping your pet enjoy a long, healthy life. Identifying health issues early allows us to treat them more effectively. Common health problems in senior pets include heart disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, periodontal disease, cognitive decline, and cancer. We’re here to help keep your senior pet happy and healthy.
