Senior Pet Care
Every senior pet deserves the highest standard of care.
Aging Pets and Veterinary Care
As pets age, they require more attentive monitoring and proactive health management. Dr. Walia recommends that senior pets visit our clinic more frequently throughout the year, at least every six months, for comprehensive wellness exams and routine lab work. Annual blood panels and other diagnostics detect age-related changes early so our staff can manage potential health issues before they progress.
During these visits, we can still perform essential services like vaccines to maintain immunity and discuss any procedures that may be necessary, including surgery or dental cleanings.
Since we cannot follow your pet home, you know best when something changes. If you have a concern about your older cat or dog, please bring it up to us during your pet’s appointment. We are always ready to talk to you about your pet’s health.
Nutrition and Senior Pets
The diet that you choose can support your senior pet’s health. As pets grow older, they may develop medical disorders or experience changes in metabolism that lead to weight gain. Dr. Walia provides personalized nutritional guidance to help you select the best pet food and diet plan for your aging pet’s needs.
Whether your fur baby is managing a specific health condition or simply needs support for overall wellness, we offer a range of maintenance and prescription diets right here in our clinic. If your pet requires a specialized formula, we can conveniently place a custom order for you. Our high-quality pet food options make it easy to nourish your senior pet so they can maintain a healthy weight and vibrant life.
