Geriatric Care for Senior Pets

To help senior pets maintain a good quality of life as they continue to age, they require routine preventive veterinary care and early diagnosis throughout their golden years.

Diligent care can help extend your pet's life and good health as they age, so they must attend regularly scheduled wellness exams, even if they are seemingly healthy. 

Our veterinarians are here to help geriatric pets in Snellville achieve optimal health by identifying and treating emerging health issues early, and providing proactive treatment while we can still manage them easily and effectively.

Typical Health Problems

Due to improved dietary options and better veterinary care, companion cats and dogs are living far longer today than they have in the past. 

While this is certainly something to be celebrated, pet owners and veterinarians now face more age-related conditions than they did in the past.

Senior pets are typically prone to the following conditions:

Veterinary Care for Seniors

Our vets will thoroughly examine your senior pet, ask about their home life in detail, and perform any tests that may be required to receive additional insight into his or her general physical health and condition. 

We will recommend a treatment plan based on our findings that can potentially include medications, activities, and dietary changes that may help improve your senior pet's health, well-being, and comfort. 

Routine Wellness Exams

Preventive care is essential to helping your senior pet live a healthy, happy, and fulfilled life. It also allows our veterinarians to detect diseases early. 

Early detection of disease will help preserve your pet's physical health and catch emerging health issues before they develop into long-term problems.

With regular physical examinations, your pet will have the best chance of quality long-term health.
