| Senior Pet Care |
Advances in veterinary medicine allow us to help pets
live longer than ever before. With an increased
lifespan, however, comes an increase in the types of
ailments that can afflict senior pets. Pets' age-related
conditions and diseases include: weight and mobility
changes; osteoarthritis; kidney, heart and liver
diseases; tumors and cancers; hormone disorders,
such as diabetes and thyroid imbalance; and many
others. We work closely with our clients to devise
health plans to maintain optimal health of aging pets.

In accordance with the guidelines of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), at a minimum, it is
years/human year of life, more frequent check-ups may be suggested. Animals' accelerated aging means that a pet's
health can change dramatically in a very short period of time Careful attention will be paid to the Senior examined by
our veterinarian, especially to the pet's orthopedic status, cardiovascular system and ophthalmic condition.
Age-appropriate blood tests, a urinalysis and suggestions for the use of products that can be of benefit might also be
recommended The aging process applies to animals and people in the same way: Associated changes naturally occur in
behavior, anatomy (the structures of the body) and physiology (the functioning of these body parts). Your doctor will
discuss with you the normal developmental processes of your aging pet and any diagnosed deviations from what is
considered normal.
