Helping Your Senior Pet Thrive

Supporting Your Pet’s Golden Years

As dogs and cats age, their needs naturally change. Senior pets may slow down, develop new health concerns, and require more attention than when they were younger. At Club Hill Animal Clinic, we provide compassionate, specialized senior pet care in Garland to help your furry family members enjoy their later years with comfort, vitality, and continued quality of life.

Regular Checkups for Older Pets

Routine wellness exams are essential for senior pets. Most dogs and cats are considered seniors around seven years of age, although this varies by breed and size. Older pets benefit from twice-yearly visits, including thorough physical exams and routine blood work, which allow our veterinarians to detect early signs of disease and differentiate normal aging changes from health concerns. Regular checkups help ensure your companion remains active, healthy, and happy for as many years as possible.

Common Health Concerns in Seniors

Aging pets are more susceptible to conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease, cancer, thyroid problems, and diabetes. Our team at Club Hill is experienced in diagnosing and managing these conditions with treatments tailored to each pet’s needs. We focus on improving mobility, managing chronic pain, and addressing age-related health changes to maximize comfort and wellbeing for your senior dog or cat.

Nutrition and Lifestyle for Older Pets

Proper diet and exercise are key to senior pet health. Nutritional adjustments can prevent obesity, support joint health, and maintain organ function. Our veterinarians work with you to develop a personalized plan that may include:

• Balanced senior diets and portion control
• Supplements for joint and heart health
• Exercise recommendations suited to your pet’s mobility
• Regular monitoring and adjustments as needs evolve

This holistic approach ensures your older companion stays healthy, comfortable, and engaged in daily life.
