November is here, and we’re dedicating this month to the special needs of our senior pets. Just like humans, pets need extra care as they age, and it’s during these years that they need us the most to help them stay healthy, happy, and comfortable.
Spotlight on Senior Screening: Why Age-Related Health Checks Matter
Have you ever noticed how suddenly your pet seems to be getting older? Many of our pets are considered seniors once they reach 7-8 years of age. While “old age” itself is not a disease, it is often the time when underlying conditions can start to appear, sometimes with little to no outward signs. Common concerns in senior pets include:
Kidney Disease: Early detection can prevent disease progression.
Liver Disease: With routine screenings, liver issues can be managed before symptoms escalate.
Hyperthyroidism (in cats): Catching it early can drastically improve quality of life.
Various Forms of Cancer: Screenings can often identify issues before symptoms appear, making treatment more effective.
The good news? Many of these conditions are treatable or manageable if we catch them early. That’s why annual senior exams, combined with additional yearly tests, provide valuable insights into your pet’s health and longevity. Our Senior Screening Program offers just that—a thorough check-up to assess your pet’s well-being, identifying any early signs of aging-related conditions.
What’s Included in Our Senior Screening Program?
Our Senior Screening Program is designed specifically for dogs and cats entering their golden years. It includes discounted tests and a complete physical examination to give a holistic view of your pet’s health. During this screening, our veterinary team will assess your pet’s body systems, run diagnostic tests, and review findings with you to ensure you have a clear understanding of your pet’s health status.
By investing in this preventative care, you’re helping us tailor a wellness plan suited to your pet’s needs, helping to catch potential issues early and improve outcomes.
