Senior and Geriatric Care: Embracing the Golden Years
As pets age, they need our care and attention more than ever. Our senior wellness services focus on early detection and management of age-related issues, with an emphasis on quality-of-life maintenance. Pain management is another crucial aspect of care for senior dogs and cats, helping them stay comfortable and active despite age-related conditions like arthritis.
Common Health Problems in Senior Pets
Arthritis
A prevalent condition in dogs and cats that can be managed with medication and lifestyle adjustments.
Dental Disease
Regular dental care is essential to preventing discomfort and more severe oral conditions, like periodontal disease.
Kidney Disease
Dogs and cats are both prone to kidney issues. With early screening and treatment, we can manage this disease effectively.
Heart Disease
Ongoing monitoring and treatment can help your pet maintain a good quality of life.
Vision and Hearing Loss
Adjusting your home and care routines can help you manage these changes in your pet.
Our goal is to help your senior pet live their golden years to the fullest, with as much joy and comfort as possible. By focusing on preventive care, nutrition, and pain management, we can help your pet remain a happy and loving companion for years to come.
