If your dog or cat is getting older and needs specialized care, we’d be more than happy to lend a hand.
Just like people, dogs and cats feel the effects of aging. They become more susceptible to disease and often struggle with things like arthritis and hearing or vision loss as they get older. As a pet parent, it’s your responsibility to give your pet the best life possible at all ages. And doing that requires paying attention to and meeting their needs at all life stages. Here at Animal Medical Hospital, we provide senior pet care for dogs and cats in Hempstead, Rockville Centre, Garden City, and the surrounding areas, and we can help you make your pet’s golden years their best years.
Taking care of an older pet isn’t always easy. Senior pets’ energy levels tend to decrease, and they become more prone to age-related illnesses. Your pet’s dietary needs change as they get older, too, so it’s essential to make sure you are meeting their nutritional needs.
Pets age much faster than we do, and serious problems develop quickly in older cats and dogs. For this reason, we recommend bringing your pet in twice per year for wellness exams. Doing so allows us to keep an eye on their health and begin treatment for potential problems before they become serious. Scheduling twice-yearly wellness exams for your senior pet could literally add years to their life.
At Animal Medical Hospital, we love pets of all ages. That’s why we are thrilled to offer comprehensive senior pet care in Hempstead. If your dog or cat is getting older and needs specialized care, we’d be more than happy to lend a hand.
