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.
