What Is Geriatric Pet Care?
Geriatric pet care is a specialized area of veterinary medicine focused on the needs of senior dogs and cats. Typically, pets are considered “senior” around the age of 7 for dogs and 8 for cats, although this varies by breed and size. As pets age, they become more susceptible to conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, cognitive decline, and heart disease.
That’s why older pets benefit from more frequent wellness visits and tailored monitoring that helps us detect changes early.
Our senior pet care services include:
- Wellness Exams
- Bloodwork and lab testing
- Arthritis and mobility evaluations
- Pain management strategies
- Nutritional counseling
- Weight and body condition monitoring
- Dental evaluations
- Behavior and cognitive health assessments
- Recommendations for home and lifestyle adjustments
Each care plan is customized to fit your pet’s individual health status, lifestyle, and comfort level because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to aging.
