Senior Pet Care

Lifelong Love Deserves Lifelong Care: Senior Pet Services

As pets age, their needs evolve, but their love for you remains constant. At Paws & Claws Animal Hospital, our senior care services are designed to help your aging companion stay comfortable, healthy, and happy through every stage of life.

Understanding the Aging Process

Senior pets may slow down, but they still have plenty of life to enjoy. Aging brings changes like joint stiffness, organ function shifts, and altered metabolism. Our team focuses on monitoring these age-related health issues early through regular exams, routine bloodwork, and diagnostic testing. Early detection means better management and a higher quality of life.

Key Components of Our Senior Care Program:

• Comprehensive physical exams tailored for senior pets
• Routine blood and urine tests to assess organ health
• Monitoring for chronic diseases such as arthritis, kidney disease, and diabetes
• Customized nutrition and weight management plans
• Pain management and mobility support strategies
• Behavioral assessments to detect changes that could indicate discomfort or cognitive decline

Personalized Wellness Plans for Golden Years

There’s no one-size-fits-all care for senior pets. We tailor wellness plans based on your pet’s breed, age, medical history, and lifestyle. Whether adjusting diets, managing arthritis, or supporting chronic conditions, we collaborate with you to create a thoughtful, individualized care strategy.

Comfort and Quality of Life

Our goal is to make every day the best it can be for your senior pet. We focus on preventing pain, encouraging activity, and spotting subtle signs of discomfort or cognitive changes. We’re also here to provide guidance, answer your questions, and support you through the emotional journey of caring for an aging pet.

Celebrate the Golden Years Together

Older pets have given you a lifetime of loyalty and love. Senior care lets you return that kindness with compassionate, expert support tailored just for them. Whether your pet is just entering their senior years or has been a cherished elder for some time, we’re here to help make every moment count.
