Geriatric Care

Geriatric care is essential for small animals because their health needs change significantly as they age. Older pets are more prone to chronic conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, heart problems, and cognitive decline. Geriatric care involves regular health monitoring, early detection of age-related diseases, pain management, and adjustments in diet, exercise, and lifestyle.

By providing tailored care for aging pets, veterinarians can improve comfort, slow the progression of disease, and enhance the quality of life. It also helps pet owners make informed decisions about their pet’s well-being, ensuring a dignified and supported aging process.
