Senior Pet Care

Golden Years Pet Care

Older pets are some of the best companions, and with the advances in veterinary care, they’re living longer, healthier lives than ever before. However, as your pet ages, their medical needs change, and they require a different level of care than younger animals. The experienced veterinarians and medical team at North Haven Animal Hospital work closely with you to create a personalized health care plan that keeps your senior pet safe, comfortable, and happy throughout their golden years.

Preventative care plays a vital role in maintaining the health of older pets. Senior pets can be more prone to conditions like arthritis, periodontal disease, kidney or liver issues, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, gastrointestinal problems, or even cancer. We recommend that senior pets receive a comprehensive physical exam at least once a year, though more frequent visits may be needed depending on your pet’s health.

Keep an Eye Out to Keep Them Thriving

As a pet parent, you are a key partner in keeping your senior pet healthy. If you notice any changes in their behavior, energy levels, or eating habits, it’s important to bring them in for a check-up. Together, we can ensure that your furry friend continues to live a full, happy life by your side for many more years to come.
