What to Expect at a Senior Pet Exam
We focus on proactive senior pet care to help detect and manage conditions that are often associated with aging before they impact your pet’s well-being. During a senior wellness visit, our veterinarians conduct a thorough, nose-to-tail examination, which includes:
- Increased thirst or urination
- Loss of bladder control
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Bad breath, excessive drooling, or panting
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Lumps, bumps, or skin color changes
- Disorientation, confusion, or increased wandering
- Limping or difficulty getting up
- Difficulty breathing
- Anxiety or changes in sleep patterns
If you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to contact us. Early intervention can make a significant difference.
Navigating End-of-Life Care
As much as we wish our pets could stay with us forever, there comes a time when we must focus on their comfort and dignity. If your pet is struggling with chronic pain, mobility issues, or terminal illness, we are here to guide you through this stage with compassionate end-of-life care.
We offer hospice and palliative care to help manage pain and keep your pet comfortable at home for as long as possible. Our team will support you with individualized care plans and honest discussions about your pet’s well-being.
Saying Goodbye: Euthanasia Services
However, if your pet is experiencing more bad days than good, struggling with unmanageable pain, or no longer enjoying the things they once loved, euthanasia may be the kindest choice. Our team is here to help you assess your pet’s quality of life and provide a peaceful, dignified passing when the time comes.
We understand how deeply our pets touch our lives, and we are here to support you through every step of this journey.
