Senior And Geriatric Pet Care
Senior and Geriatric Care Offered by a Veterinarian on Our Team
When pets become older, it’s important to pay closer attention to their health and overall condition. Issues can develop quickly or become unnoticed until they pose a risk to their life. You need to have routine care for them geared to senior and geriatric pet needs. Some focal points during an exam can include the following.
- Pet lab testing
- Wellness exams
- Pet lab work
- Disease prevention
Senior pets usually develop some special needs as they become more susceptible to certain conditions. Pet owners can expect our team of professionals to take extra measures, such as pet lab testing, to ensure they are comfortable and have the specialized care they need to manage or overcome those developing conditions.
Although wellness exams are necessary for all stages of life, for senior dogs and cats, they have become essential for older pets. Follow the recommended time frame for those exams, stay on top of your pet’s health and well-being, and follow the recommenced disease prevention protocol.
