To help your senior pet maintain a good quality of life as they age, senior pets need routine preventative veterinary care and early diagnosis throughout their later years.
Diligent care can help extend your pet's life and good health as they age, so it's important that they attend regularly scheduled wellness exams, even if they seem healthy.
Our veterinarians are here to help geriatric pets in Simi Valley achieve optimal health by identifying and treating emerging health issues early, and providing proactive treatment while we can still effectively and easily manage them.
Typical Health Problems
Because of advances in veterinary medical care and dietary options in recent years, dogs and cats are living far longer now than they ever 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 as well.
Senior pets are typically prone to the following conditions:
Pet Geriatric Care
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.
Based on the findings, we'll recommend a treatment plan 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 gives our veterinarians the opportunity to detect diseases early.
Early disease detection will help you to preserve your pet's health and wellbeing as well as catch health issues as they arise. This way your pet will be able to be treated for health problems well before they turn into long-term problems.
With regular physical examinations, your pet will have the best chance at quality long-term health.
