Dogs are generally considered senior at seven years of age, and cats at eleven. Aging brings changes that are often gradual and easy to miss — but early detection of kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid conditions, and cancer can add years of quality life.
Senior Wellness Exams
We recommend twice-yearly exams for senior pets, combined with comprehensive bloodwork, urinalysis, blood pressure measurement, and thyroid screening. These visits establish baseline values that allow us to detect subtle trends before they become clinical problems.
Pain & Mobility Management
Arthritis affects the majority of senior dogs and many older cats. Our multimodal approach includes prescription anti-inflammatory medications, joint supplements, laser therapy, weight management, environmental modifications, and physical therapy referrals. We work with you to find the combination that keeps your pet comfortable and active.
Quality of Life & End-of-Life Care
When the time comes, we provide compassionate hospice consultations, quality-of-life assessments, and in-hospital or at-home euthanasia services. Our goal is to help you make informed, loving decisions with your pet's comfort and dignity as the priority.
