Is your pet a senior citizen?

Is your pet starting to age a little?

Did you know that cats and dogs are considered senior citizens after the age around 8 years? As they reach their golden years there are a few things you need to watch out for.

Obvious changes might include:

forgetting toilet training
hearing loss
stiff legs
weight loss or gain
It’s crucial to arrange more regular check ups with us during these senior years.

We will monitor your pet closely for:

sore joints
new lumps
dental disease
vision changes
heart changes
We may also suggest blood tests, urine tests and blood pressure measurements to make sure your pet’s organs are all healthy. Diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis can be successfully managed if detected early.
