As our pets get older, they need extra care and attention just like us. Having your senior pet remaining fit and healthy and having regular vet examinations as he or she ages can help prolong their life.
It is extremely critical to diagnose disease and certain conditions as early as possible when your dog or cat enters its senior’s years as the risk increases and diagnoses and treatment can help prolong your pet’s life with early detection. The risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems all increase with age and some pets don’t show signs until later stages when symptoms develop or are quite advanced. Booking your pet in for a senior health check with our vets can help by identifying and preventing or reducing pain, recommending an appropriate nutrition and exercise plan and helping you make modifications to keep your pet comfortable and stay on the right track to a long healthy prolonged life.
