SENIOR PET CARE

SENIOR PET CARE

Dogs and cats are typically classified as senior at around 7 years old. While many of the 7-year-old pets we see are in excellent health and don’t seem senior, it's important to begin more frequent checks for signs of illness at this age.

As pets age, they require more specialised care to address age-related health concerns. Our senior pet care services focus on early detection and management of conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, and heart disease. Regular check-ups, blood tests, and diagnostic imaging help us monitor your pet’s health and catch any potential issues early.

We also focus on mobility and pain management, ensuring your senior pet remains comfortable and active. Whether it’s through medication, supplements, or lifestyle changes, we work to improve your pet’s quality of life as they age. Weight management, joint health, and dental care become even more important during this stage, and we’re here to guide you through the best care practices for your ageing pet.

Our team provides comprehensive support for senior pets, helping you navigate the challenges that come with ageing. By addressing your pet’s changing needs, we aim to give them the best possible care in their golden years.

If you would like to discuss your pet's needs or would like to book an appointment call us at 08 8381-2300.
