Specialized Senior Pet Care
Senior pets require more frequent and specialized care to keep them comfortable, healthy, and happy as they age. From regular wellness exams to tailored pain management and nutritional guidance, our team is dedicated to addressing the unique needs of aging pets. Our goal is to give you as many happy, healthy years with your pet as possible by providing preventive care and early intervention for any age-related issues.
Our senior care services include:

Exams
Twice-a-year check-ups help us monitor changes in your pet’s health. We’ll perform routine bloodwork, check for arthritis or joint issues, assess organ health, and monitor weight changes to ensure early detection of any concerns.
Pain
Management
We provide customized pain relief options to help senior pets with arthritis, joint discomfort, and other age-related issues. This can include medications, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments.
Nutritional
Support
As pets age, their dietary needs evolve. We can recommend special senior diets that address issues like weight management, digestive health, and energy support, ensuring your pet stays healthy and vibrant.
Dental
Health
Dental care becomes even more important with age. We offer cleanings, exams, and treatments to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and prevent dental discomfort.
