Senior Pet Wellness
Helping Your Pet Enjoy Their Golden Years
As our pets age, their healthcare needs change. Just like people, senior pets can develop age-related conditions that benefit from early detection and ongoing management. At Lansdowne Animal Hospital, we are passionate about helping older dogs and cats remain comfortable, active, and happy throughout their senior years.
Senior wellness visits allow us to monitor your pet's health more closely and identify potential concerns before they become serious problems. Common age-related issues include arthritis, weight changes, kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, cognitive decline, and various forms of cancer. Many of these conditions develop gradually and can be difficult for pet owners to detect in the early stages.
During a senior wellness examination, our veterinarians assess your pet's mobility, body condition, dental health, vision, hearing, and overall quality of life. We may recommend bloodwork, urine testing, blood pressure monitoring, or other diagnostics to establish a complete picture of your pet's health.
Our goal is not simply to help pets live longer, but to help them enjoy a better quality of life as they age. Through proactive healthcare, pain management, nutrition counseling, and individualized treatment plans, we can often help senior pets remain comfortable and active for many years.
