As our pets grow older, they need a little extra care and attention. Senior wellness checks help us spot small changes early, so we can keep your pet feeling their best for as long as possible.
Dogs and cats age much faster than we do, and health issues can develop quietly. In their senior years, problems like kidney disease, arthritis, thyroid changes and high blood pressure become more common. That’s why senior pets are recommended to have a health check at least every six months.
At a senior wellness visit, we take the time to perform a thorough physical exam and may recommend simple blood and urine tests and a blood pressure check. For older pets, these tests are strongly recommended because they can detect early changes before your pet shows obvious signs at home.
Our goal at Flemington Veterinary Hospital is not just to treat illness, but to support comfort, mobility and quality of life. Catching problems early often means simpler treatment and better long-term outcomes.
Regular senior health checks give your pet the best chance of staying active and comfortable in their golden years. A proactive approach today can make a meaningful difference tomorrow.
