Senior and Geriatric Care
Age-specific care for senior and geriatric pets
Older pets can experience rapid health changes and are more likely to develop chronic conditions and illnesses that affect their quality of life. This is why we shift our focus from preventive care to early disease detection and support.
By catching and addressing age-related changes early, we strive to keep your pet comfortable, mobile, and happy for as long as possible.
The senior pet visit
With age comes change, even to your pet’s routine vet visits. A typical senior pet appointment may include:
- In-depth physical exam — We’ll spend extra time assessing your pet’s mobility, pain, and muscle condition, which can signal age-related health problems
- Blood work and diagnostic testing — Monitoring your pet’s organ function can help us detect early disease
- Nutritional guidance — Senior pets need specialized nutrition to support their changing metabolism and appetite
- At-home care tips — We’ll help you make your home safer and more accessible for a mobility-challenged pet
- Quality of life conversations — When the time comes, we’ll help you make thoughtful, informed care decisions with your pet’s best interests in mind
Quality in every moment
Age is just a number, but health is for life. Support your pet’s golden years with veterinary care that helps them age with comfort, dignity, and health.
