Caring for Your Senior Pet in High Point, NC

Routine preventive care allows our vets to check on the health of your senior pet, screen for any potential geriatric conditions such as arthritis or vision loss, and provide proactive treatment as necessary. Diligent care can help extend your pet's life and good health as they age, so it's important that they attend regularly scheduled wellness exams, even if they seem healthy.

Caring For Your Senior Pet

Due to improved dietary options and better veterinary care, companion cats and dogs are living far longer today than they have in the past.

While this is certainly something to be celebrated, pet owners and veterinarians now face more age-related conditions than they did in the past as well.

Senior pets are typically prone to the following conditions:

Joint or bone disorders
Cancer
Heart Disease
Blindness and hearing loss
Liver disease
Diabetes
Kidney disease
Urinary tract disease

Our vets will thoroughly examine your senior pet, ask about their home life in detail and perform any tests that may be required to receive additional insight into his or her general physical health and condition.

Based on the findings, we'll recommend a treatment plan that can potentially include medications, activities, or dietary changes that may help improve your senior pet's health, well-being and comfort.
