🐾 Is Your Pet Entering Their Senior Years? ❤️
Just like us, our pets can experience changes as they age — but many early signs of ageing can be subtle and easy to miss at home.
That’s why regular Senior Health Checks are so important! 🩺🐶🐱
During a senior health check, our veterinary team can assess your pet’s:
🦴 Joints & mobility – checking for stiffness, arthritis or changes in movement
🦷 Teeth & gums – looking for dental disease and discomfort
❤️ Heart & lungs – listening for changes that may need further investigation
⚖️ Weight & body condition – monitoring healthy weight and muscle mass
👀 Eyes & ears – checking for age-related changes
🩸 Bloodwork – blood tests can help detect changes in organ function and other conditions before obvious symptoms appear
🐾 Overall behaviour & wellbeing – discussing changes such as sleeping more, drinking or urinating more, changes in appetite, or becoming less active
Regular check-ups give us the opportunity to detect problems early, monitor ongoing conditions and create a personalised plan to help your pet stay comfortable and healthy as they age. ❤️
Remember, ageing is natural — but changes in behaviour, appetite, drinking, mobility or energy levels shouldn’t simply be dismissed as “just getting old.”
