F.A.Q
When is a pet considered a senior?
Most dogs and cats become seniors around 7–8 years of age, though this varies by breed and size. We can help you determine when to start senior-focused care.
How often should senior pets see the vet?
We recommend wellness visits every 6 months. More frequent checkups help us detect changes early and adjust care as needed.
Why is bloodwork important for older pets?
Many age-related conditions develop internally long before symptoms appear. Bloodwork lets us monitor organ function and catch issues early.
What signs of aging should I watch for at home?
Changes in mobility, appetite, weight, thirst, bathroom habits, behavior, or sleep patterns may indicate health concerns. Let us know if you notice anything new.
Can you help manage pain or arthritis?
Yes. We offer medication options, joint supplements, mobility support, and senior-friendly recommendations to keep your pet comfortable.
