Our older patients have different needs. They may require a different diet, a change in vaccines, or medications to help them live longer and happier lives. Routine blood and urine testing at this stage of life will go a long way toward detecting manageable diseases.

When is a dog considered a senior pet?
Although it depends on the breed, we generally consider our dogs to be at the senior level around 7 years of age.

Just like us humans, our pets can benefit from a well-balanced diet, and physical exercise. Specific concerns or symptoms should be discussed with your Veterinarian.
