Senior Pet Care
Specialised Senior Pet Care for a Healthy and Happy Golden Years
As pets age, their healthcare needs evolve, and attentive, regular veterinary care becomes essential to maintaining their comfort, mobility, and happiness. We at Eumundi Vets specialise in senior pet care, offering targeted treatments and preventive care to help ensure they enjoy their golden years with the best quality of life possible.
Understanding Senior Pet Health Needs
Just like humans, pets experience age-related changes that can affect their overall wellbeing. From stiff joints and dental disease to organ function changes and more serious conditions such as cancer, early detection is key to managing these health concerns effectively.
Further complicating matters is the fact that pets age more quickly than people — about 7 times more quickly, in fact! That means your pet will reach “senior” status more quickly than we may expect.
As a result, we recommend wellness checks every six months for senior pets. These more frequent visits allow us to catch subtle changes before they become more serious.
Comprehensive Senior Pet Wellness Checks
Our senior wellness checks are tailored to your pet’s individual needs and may include:
Thorough Physical Examinations
To assess mobility, skin, coat, eyes, ears, heart, and more
Routine Blood Tests
To monitor kidney, liver, and thyroid function
Urine Analysis
To detect early signs of urinary tract disease or organ dysfunction
Dental Assessments
To identify and address oral health issues before they cause discomfort
Pain Assessments
For early detection of arthritis or other chronic conditions
These proactive measures help us create a personalised plan that keeps your senior pet feeling comfortable, active, and happy.
Supporting Your Senior Pet at Home
In addition to regular check-ups, our team can provide:
Tailored Nutrition Advice
To meet changing dietary needs
Mobility Support Recommendations
Including supplements, physiotherapy, and environmental modifications
Pain Management Plans
That may include medication, joint support, or alternative therapies
By partnering with you, we ensure your pet receives consistent, compassionate care both in our clinic and at home.
