Your pet’s health requirements change as they grow older. Many pets are considered seniors as early as seven years old. As your pet ages, it’s critical to have their health evaluated by our veterinarians on a regular basis. Regular physical examinations and blood screenings can catch diseases much earlier, prolonging your pet’s quality of life. We recommend senior pets visit their veterinarian twice a year.
Senior pet wellness visits may include a nose-to-tail physical examination, weight and mobility assessment, dental evaluation, bloodwork, urinalysis, blood pressure screening, and discussion of appetite, behavior, pain, and quality of life.
Common senior pet concerns include arthritis, dental disease, kidney disease, thyroid disease, heart disease, weight changes, lumps or masses, behavior changes, and changes in drinking, urination, appetite, or mobility.
