Senior wellness
Senior wellness care for dogs and cats is crucial to ensuring they enjoy a comfortable and healthy old age. That includes living comfortably with minimal aches and pains and managing any other symptoms they may have. For dogs and cats with chronic diseases, routine blood tests, x-rays, ultrasound exams might be necessary to help them enjoy their golden years. As animals age, their health needs change, requiring special attention to maintain their well-being.
Regular veterinary check-ups become even more important to monitor for age-related conditions such as:
- Arthritis
- Dental Disease
- Obesity
- Organ Dysfunction
- Vision Loss
- Hearing Loss
- Diabetes
- Cancer
Featured Questions
How often should I bring my pet for a checkup?
This depends on your pet’s age, breed, and overall health. Generally, young puppies and kittens need more frequent checkups than adult pets. Senior pets may also require more frequent visits. We recommend discussing a personalized wellness plan with your veterinarian during your pet’s next appointment.
How can I keep my pet healthy at home?
A healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper dental hygiene are all essential for your pet’s well-being. We can recommend food options, suggest appropriate exercise routines, and provide guidance on dental care practices for your specific pet.
What vaccinations does my pet need?
Core vaccinations protect your pet from serious and potentially fatal diseases. The specific vaccines your pet needs will depend on their age, lifestyle, and risk factors. We will discuss a vaccination schedule during your pet’s first visit and update it as needed.
What are some signs my pet might be sick?
Changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, or elimination habits can all be signs of illness. Other red flags include vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, or unusual discharge from the eyes or nose. If you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment.
