Just like people, our pets’ health needs change as they age. 🩺 Conditions like arthritis, dental disease, kidney disease, and thyroid problems are more common in older pets, and many develop gradually with subtle early signs that are easy to miss.

It is also important to remember that our pets age faster than us, and they are unable to vocalise to us how they are feelings and so subtle changes often go unnoticed by owners. On top of that Pets natural instincts are to hide their pain.

That’s why we recommend senior pets come in for a check-up every six months rather than once a year. Regular check-ups allow us to pick up changes early, when they’re easier to manage, and keep your pet comfortable and happy for as long as possible. 📅

Anaphylaxis is a RARE but severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur in pets, most commonly after an insect sting or medications. ⚠️ It comes on very quickly, usually within minutes to an hour.

Signs to watch for include sudden vomiting or diarrhoea, collapse, difficulty breathing, a swollen face or hives, pale gums, and extreme weakness.

🚨 Anaphylaxis is a true emergency, so if you suspect your pet is having a reaction, contact our clinic or your nearest emergency animal hospital immediately.

Managing arthritis in dogs often involves anti-inflammatory medication, but for dogs with a history of gastrointestinal issues, some of these can cause problems. 🦴 The good news is there are alternatives.

Newer treatments such as monthly injections work differently to traditional anti-inflammatories and are generally well-tolerated by sensitive dogs. Supplements, physiotherapy, and weight management are also important parts of a pain management plan. 💊 Talk to our vets about finding the right treatment for your dog.

When cats get older, everyday tasks like climbing into a litter tray or jumping up to a favourite spot can become a real challenge. 🐈‍⬛ The good news is there are some simple things you can do at home to make life easier.

Low-sided litter trays, ramps or pet stairs, raised food and water bowls, and non-slip mats on slippery floors can all make a big difference. 🏠 Small adjustments at home, combined with the right veterinary care, can help your senior cat stay comfortable for longer.
