As pets age, their health needs change, and medical conditions can progress more quickly. Senior care focuses on early detection, comfort, and proactive management to help maintain quality of life as pets enter their later years.
We typically recommend wellness examinations every six months for senior pets, allowing us to monitor age-related changes and address concerns such as mobility issues, arthritis, dental disease, weight changes, and organ function before they significantly affect daily life.
Preventive diagnostic screening plays an important role in senior care. Comprehensive screening panels may include blood chemistry analysis, complete blood cell count, urinalysis, fecal parasite screening, and screening for tick-borne disease. Regular testing helps identify early changes, track trends over time, and guide timely intervention, often before outward signs of illness are present.
Many senior pets experience conditions such as arthritis or chronic pain. We offer a range of treatment options and use a multi-modal approach to tailor care to each pet’s individual needs. This may include pain management, nutritional support, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing monitoring to help maintain comfort and mobility.
Our senior care approach emphasizes clear communication and individualized recommendations, supporting both pets and their families through every stage of aging with compassionate, thoughtful care.
