Animals devote their whole hearts and lives to giving their family unconditional love. Our mission is to help you provide them with the exceptional care they deserve in their golden years. According to research, 58% of dog owners and 44% of cat owners did not see a vet within the 12 months before euthanasia. Animals not only suffer (often silently) for a long time from pain and anxiety, but their condition becomes much more challenging to treat as it progresses. Our animals age much faster than humans (see charts below). We highly recommend senior animals come in for semi-annual exams starting at 8 years of age.
Like humans, age can impact a senior pet’s mobility, and we can help you keep your furry friend comfortable. Our veterinarian can also help you make the best decisions regarding their diet and exercise needs. Some other things to consider as your pet ages are:
- Adjusting the duration of walks or playtime
- Engaging in low-impact activities
- Utilizing puzzle toys for mental stimulation
- Provide a soft and comfortable bed that is easy to get up and down from
- Install non-slip mats to prevent falls, and adjust bowl and litter box height
- Consider applying toe grips for senior dogs
A pet’s golden years can be their greatest—and we’re ready to help you every step of the way.
