Our Services
Senior Pet Care
Most of us don’t think of aging as something to celebrate, but having a senior pet means you have had a special friend in your life for quite a while.
Senior Pet Care
You must have taken excellent care of your pet to have gotten this far. We hope you will let us make the transition into the “Golden Years” easier for you and your best friend. As a team, our doctors and staff are here to help detect, manage, and control ailments that come with age.
Some things we monitor for in our senior patients include:
- Glaucoma
- Thyroid disease
- Arthritis
- Dental disease
- Liver and kidney problems
- Heart disease
- Senility
- Urinary incontinence
- Diabetes
These are the most typical issues, but others could arise. The good news is that all of these problems can be detected and successfully managed if caught early enough. This is why we recommend early detection starting at seven years of age.
It is important to remember that the needs of our pets change as they age, just as ours do. Our human doctors recommend more frequent visits, blood work, and other diagnostics, as well as having our eyes and teeth checked more often as we age. Our pets age a lot faster than we do, so we have to be prepared to make the necessary changes sooner.
