November is National Senior Pet Health Month, a time to focus on the specific healthcare needs of aging pets through increased awareness and regular veterinary visits. This is a crucial month to address issues like arthritis, dental disease, and cognitive decline, and to work with your vet on preventative care, nutrition, and pain management to ensure a good quality of life for older pets.
Increased longevity: Advances in veterinary medicine mean pets are living longer, making senior care an increasingly important topic.
Changing needs: As pets age, their nutritional requirements change, and they become more susceptible to health problems like arthritis, cancer, heart disease, and cognitive dysfunction.
Early detection: Regular wellness exams and blood work are essential for early detection of age-related illnesses, allowing for proactive treatment.
Please call our office, 559-592-4753, if you would like to schedule an appointment for a Senior Wellness Exam for your pet.
We would love to see photos of YOUR Senior Pet! ❤️
