Specialized Veterinary Care for Aging Pets

Our senior pet care services are designed to support your furry companion through every stage of aging, providing personalized, compassionate care that promotes quality of life and longevity.

Whether your senior dog is starting to slow down or your older cat is showing signs of arthritis or kidney issues, our experienced veterinary team is here to help you navigate the changes and keep your pet feeling their best.

What is Senior Pet Care?

Senior pet care focuses on the unique health concerns and preventive needs of aging pets. As dogs and cats reach their senior years — typically around age 7 for dogs and age 10 for cats — they require more frequent monitoring and specialized care.

Our senior pet wellness services include:

Biannual wellness exams
Bloodwork and diagnostic screenings
Pain management and arthritis support
Nutritional counseling for aging pets
Dental health evaluations
Behavioral and cognitive assessments
Chronic disease management (e.g., kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid conditions)

By identifying changes early, we can tailor a care plan that addresses your pet’s evolving needs and helps them live a full, vibrant life.

Why Senior Pet Care Is So Important

As pets age, their risk for chronic health issues increases significantly. Conditions like arthritis, heart disease, cancer, and kidney failure often develop slowly, making routine veterinary visits essential for early detection and treatment.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), senior pets should be seen by a veterinarian at least twice a year to monitor their health and catch emerging issues early, when they’re most manageable.

Neglecting senior pet care can result in:

Unmanaged pain or reduced mobility
Rapid disease progression
Shortened lifespan
Decreased quality of life

Proactive, consistent care is the best way to help your senior pet age gracefully and comfortably.

Benefits of Senior Pet Care

Investing in senior pet care means more time, better health, and less stress for both you and your pet.

Improved comfort with pain and mobility management
Early detection of age-related diseases
Personalized nutrition and weight support
