Senior Pet Care

Taking care of your pets as they age is no easy task. As your pets get older, you will want to get in touch with a veterinarian that can provide a caring hand and understand the issues your aging pets face, such as increased pain and arthritis. At Grand Park Animal Clinic in Katy, we want to ensure your pets get the care they need through high-quality senior pet care.

Senior Pet Care

Does My Dog or Cat Need Senior Pet Care?

Your pets need senior pet care at age 7 or older. At this age, your pets are at risk for developing age-related health problems, such as arthritis, heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. A good way to tell if your pets need senior pet care is to monitor their behavior. If they are having trouble getting up, going up and down stairs, or playing like they used to, it may be time to take them to the vet for an evaluation.

They may also have a decrease in energy levels and activity tolerance. Additionally, their sense of smell and hearing may decline and they may become more susceptible to infections. At Grand Park Animal Clinic, we understand the unique needs of older pets. Our staff is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to keep your pets happy and healthy as they age.

What Happens During a Senior Pet Exam?

During a senior pet exam, our veterinarians will thoroughly assess your pet's health. We will take a thorough history, perform a physical examination, and order any diagnostic tests as needed.

Based on our findings, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to keep your pets healthy and comfortable as they age.
