# Senior and Geriatric Care

Early recognition of the diseases of aging, senior bloodwork packages, pain management and compassionate guidance through end-of-life decisions.

As our pets live longer, they become an even greater presence in the lives of their human companions. Advances in veterinary medicine allow us to deal with the unique challenges of growing older. We take a strong interest in the early recognition and treatment of diseases that affect senior and geriatric pets.

From options in screening bloodwork, dietary considerations and behavioral challenges, to pain management and difficult end-of-life choices, we put a special focus on outstanding care of the geriatric pet.

Because organ systems age more rapidly in our senior pets than they do in ourselves, we offer senior bloodwork packages at your pet’s annual exam. This allows us to pick up on disease earlier, before it becomes more difficult to treat or creates discomfort for your pet.
