Customized Senior Pet Care to Promote a Healthier Life
As pets get older, they require more care and attention due to their changing needs. Dogs and cats are generally considered seniors around 7 years old, and although some changes may appear to be a normal part of aging, they could also be signs of underlying health problems. If you've noticed your pet moving slower on walks, having difficulty getting up, or struggling with stairs, or if they are experiencing weight changes or increased thirst and urination, these could be indicators of a health issue. Detecting these changes early can help improve your pet's quality of life and lead to better outcomes.

Comprehensive Senior Exams
It is important to schedule regular veterinary visits for senior pets. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) advise that healthy senior pets should have a complete veterinary examination and lab testing every six months. These check-ups help us detect any health problems early and create a proactive care plan for your pet's changing needs.
