FAQs

Here are some common questions about senior pet care and our recommendations.

What age is considered ‘senior’?

Typically, pets are considered senior around 7 years old. However, this can vary based on breed and size. Larger breeds may age faster than smaller ones.

Should senior pets visit the vet more than once a year?

Yes, we recommend checkups every six months for senior pets. This allows us to monitor their health closely. Regular visits can help catch any issues early.

What tests might be recommended?

We may suggest blood and urine tests to assess overall health. Blood pressure checks and imaging can also be beneficial if concerns arise. These proactive measures help ensure your pet's well-being.

Can you help with arthritis and stiffness?

Absolutely, we provide various treatments for arthritis and stiffness. Options include medication, supplements, and movement support. Our goal is to enhance your pet's comfort and mobility.

Do senior pets need different food?

Yes, senior pets often require different nutritional needs. We can guide you in selecting age-appropriate food. Proper nutrition is crucial for maintaining their health.

What if my pet seems confused or anxious?

We can assess their cognitive function and recommend support.
