Caring for Your Senior Pet
From puppyhood to their golden years, we are here to provide the care your pet needs at every stage of life.
Aging pets need extra attention to maintain their quality of life. By the age of seven, many pets are considered seniors, and their immune systems begin to slow, making them more vulnerable to diseases like arthritis, kidney disease, cancer, and cognitive decline.
Frequent wellness visits are crucial for older pets. We typically recommend biannual checkups to track health changes and catch potential issues early. At Pure Paws Veterinary Care of Hell's Kitchen, we provide thorough exams and advanced screenings to detect hidden conditions, ensuring your pet stays happy and comfortable in their later years.
Here are some essential tests for senior pets:
- Blood Work helps detect infections, anemia, and age-related conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and liver dysfunction.
- X-Rays uncover hidden health concerns such as arthritis, tumors, or internal abnormalities that may not be visible during a routine exam.
- Urinalysis provides valuable insight into your pet’s overall health, allowing us to screen for urinary tract infections, liver disease, and diabetes.
Please contact us immediately if you observe any changes in your senior pet's behavior or health.
