For many years, Mira Mar Vets have been dedicating one month of every year promoting the health and well-being of our older patients. Senior Pets are considered older than 7 years of age, or 5 years old for giant breed dogs.
We are very excited to announce that we will be running our Senior Pet Month again in May 2026.
Early detection and treatment are key to addressing many of the diseases and health issues we see arise as our pets age. Management of conditions such as arthritis, dental disease, diabetes, thyroid disease and kidney disease is always most successful when diagnosed before they are too far advanced.
In 2026 our Senior Pet Health Assessment will include the following;
- A complete head to tail physical examination with the vet
- A blood pressure assessment
- A blood test to screen for general health and several commonly seen diseases including kidney disease and thyroid disease
- A free recheck for your senior pet in 6 months
Plus, if your pet is assessed to be suffering from arthritis, we have a special offer on the pain relief injections Beransa (for dogs) and Solensia (for cats).
To book a Senior Pet Health Assessment please contact the clinic directly on 98415422.
We look forward to seeing you and your best friend soon!
Regards, Jim, Sara, Ellie and all the team at Mira Mar Vets.
