What is Senior Wellness Care?
Senior pet care is all about preventive medicine. Just like with human beings, the key to keeping our older furry friends healthy is catching any potential problems early on and treating them before they become serious. That's why we recommend that all of our clients bring their senior pets in for wellness exams twice yearly. These exams help us to keep an eye on your animal companion's ongoing health and identify any changes that could be cause for concern.
During a senior wellness exam, we will take a comprehensive history of your pet's health, diet, and lifestyle. We will also perform a thorough physical examination from nose to tail. Depending on the results of the physical exam and health history, we may also recommend additional diagnostic testing such as bloodwork, x-rays, or urine/fecal analysis. Once we have all of the information we need, we will sit down with you and discuss our findings as well as any recommendations we may have for treatment or management going forward.
The goal of senior pet care is to ensure that your furry friend enjoys a high quality of life for as long as possible. With early intervention and proper management of chronic conditions, many animals are living well into their teens and beyond!
