Caring for Senior Pets

Did you know that most cats and dogs are considered seniors around age 7? Just like people, pets experience age-related changes that can affect their energy, mobility, appetite, behavior, and more. Some of these shifts are natural—but others may signal an underlying health concern that deserves attention.

We’re here to help you understand what’s normal, what’s not, and how to best support your aging pet. Our senior wellness care includes:

  • Comprehensive physical exams
  • Routine diagnostic testing and bloodwork
  • Nutritional guidance tailored to senior needs
  • Pain management strategies
  • Behavior and mobility evaluations
  • Adjustments to ongoing treatment plans

Even if your pet is already managing a chronic condition, senior-focused care is key to keeping them comfortable. As conditions progress or medications stop working as effectively, we may recommend new approaches to support their quality of life.
