When your pet ages, they may slow down due to degenerative disorders, illness, or the natural aging process. Energy levels decrease with age, and pets become more susceptible to osteoarthritis, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and other potentially serious health problems.

Wellness exams are crucial for senior pets. We recommend checkups every six months so we can keep an eye on your companion and monitor for common signs of problems. During your pet’s exam, we will also discuss any concerns you may have and ask you questions about their diet, activity levels, and lifestyle.

Depending on your pet’s species, age, breed, and overall health, we may recommend things like routine bloodwork, diagnostic imaging, dietary changes, etc. These recommendations are always made with your pet’s health in mind, and we’ll take the time to explain our suggestions and answer any questions you may have. We want what’s best for your pet and will do everything we can to keep them happy and comfortable throughout their golden years.
