As dogs and cats age, they need more attention and special care. Our senior preventive packages can help your pet remain fit and healthy as he or she ages and help us catch any potential problems earlier, potentially making them easier to treat or manage. Regular Veterinary exams can help your pet live longer, too!

Diagnosing diseases and certain conditions early is important throughout a pet’s life, but it becomes even more critical when your dog or cat enters his or her senior years. The risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders and kidney and liver problems all increase with age. In addition, dogs and cats may not show signs of serious disease until the disease is advanced.

We can treat many symptoms that are commonly attributed to age, including those associated with cognitive dysfunction syndrome (similar to Alzheimer’s in humans). We can also improve your pet’s quality of life in many ways: by identifying and preventing/reducing pain, recommending a nutrition/exercise plan and suggesting beneficial environmental modifications.

We will tailor a senior wellness plan to your pet’s individual needs. Call us today to schedule your pet’s exam!
