As pets age, their needs change, requiring extra care and attention. We’re here to help you navigate their golden years, ensuring they remain happy and healthy.
Age varies by species and size. Cats are seniors around 7–11 years, while small dogs may live up to 20 years, and larger dogs can be considered seniors as early as 5–6 years.
Aging pets may face issues like vision or hearing loss, dental disease, arthritis, cancer, and kidney disease. Early detection through regular checkups improves outcomes.
Weight management, mobility support, proper diet, and mental stimulation all contribute to a senior pet’s well-being. Adjustments like ramps, orthopedic bedding, and joint supplements can improve comfort.
Senior pets benefit from twice-yearly checkups, allowing for early detection of health changes. Comprehensive exams, bloodwork, and dental care play a crucial role in keeping them healthy.
Your pet has given you a lifetime of love—let’s make their golden years the best they can be. Contact us today to discuss a personalized care plan for your senior companion.
