Senior pet care is a specialized service we provide at Brandon Animal Hospital, recognizing the unique needs of our older furry companions.
As pets age, they require additional attention and tailored healthcare to ensure their comfort and well-being during their golden years.
Our experienced veterinarians are trained in geriatric care and understand the age-related changes that can affect senior pets. We offer comprehensive wellness exams specifically designed for senior pets, including thorough screenings for age-related diseases, such as arthritis, diabetes, kidney disease, and cognitive decline.
During these exams, we assess your pet’s mobility, pain levels, cognitive function, and overall health. We may recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as bloodwork and imaging, to evaluate organ function and detect any underlying conditions.
Managing chronic conditions becomes crucial in senior pet care. Our team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medications, dietary adjustments, supplements, pain management, and lifestyle modifications to enhance your pet’s quality of life.
