Senior Pet FAQs
Most dogs and cats are considered seniors around age 7-10, though this can vary based on breed and size. Larger dog breeds may become seniors earlier, while smaller dogs and cats may age more slowly.
We recommend wellness exams at least twice a year for senior pets. These more frequent visits are used to monitor their health closely and detect issues like organ dysfunction or joint problems before they become serious.
Arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, and dental disease are some of the most common conditions we see. Regular checkups and diagnostic testing are useful to manage these conditions effectively and keep your pet comfortable for as long as possible.
Slowing down, difficulty getting up or down, decreased appetite, restlessness, or avoiding stairs or jumping can all be signs of pain. Pets often hide discomfort, so subtle changes in behavior or mobility should be evaluated.
