Maintaining the Health of Senior Pets

Our veterinarians have three main goals when caring for your aging pet: maintaining their health, providing a good quality of life and ensuring comfort and mobility. This is why routine preventive care and early diagnosis of developing conditions are essential for pets as they age.

With ongoing care, we can help extend your pet's life and good health throughout their senior years. This is why it is so important that they attend regularly scheduled wellness exams, even when they seem perfectly healthy.

Our veterinarians can focus on proactive treatment by identifying and treating emerging health issues early. This is vital as conditions are most easily managed when they are still in the early stages.

Medical Issues in Aging Pets

Thanks to the advancements in modern veterinary medicine, our furry friends are able to live much longer lives. While this is great news, it also means that pet owners and veterinarians now face the challenge of spotting and managing the conditions that come along with advanced age.

Some of the health conditions that commonly affect older cats and dogs are:

Comfortable, Convenient Care

Our veterinary team at Northside Veterinary Clinic understands that getting around can be difficult for senior pets. That's why we offer curbside care to keep your cat or dog comfortable while receiving necessary treatment.

If you prefer our staff administer medicine or injections in your car, especially for senior pets with mobility issues, simply let us know when you call. A technician will assist you outside the clinic upon your arrival.

Physical Exams For Senior Dogs & Cats

It is crucial that you bring your dog or cat in for routine exams as they get older. Veterinarians often recommend increasing the frequency of visits to provide more opportunities to spot symptoms of potential health issues before they become too serious.

By detecting illnesses or medical conditions early, your veterinarian has the best possible chance to slow or stop the progression of the disease. This allows your senior pet to achieve an optimal quality of life.
