Senior Pet Care

Picture
How old is your pet?  This depends upon how much your pet weighs.  Would it surprise you that a Great Dane at 6 years old is older than a 6 year old Chihuahua?  Well, it’s true. 
We love our aging companions and want their senior years to be as healthy and happy as possible. The size and breed of your dog will have a lot to do with his life expectancy, but in general all dogs are considered a senior at age seven.  Due to advancements in medical care, dogs and cats are living longer than they ever did before.
As your pet  reaches the golden years, there are a variety of conditions and diseases that they can face, including weight and mobility changes; osteoarthritis; kidney, heart, and liver disease; tumors and cancers; organ failure, hormone disorders such as diabetes and thyroid imbalance; and many others. Just as the health care needs of humans change as we age, the same applies to pets. It’s critical for you to work closely with us to devise a health plan that is best for your senior pet.
We offer senior pet care for pets that are aged 7 and older.  We have senior care package programs that include comprehensive blood work, chemistry, thyroid, blood, CBC, urine test, check x-ray, abdominal ultrasound, blood pressure monitoring and eye pressure check.  Talk to us today about these packages and how to keep your senior pet at his healthy best.
