Healthcare for cats and dogs in their golden years.
Veterinary Care for Geriatric Pets
As your pet grows older, it becomes even more important to provide them with the specialized attention they require. Green Level Animal Hospital performs personalized senior pet care services in Cary, NC, where our veterinarians can address age-related health concerns so your pet continues to thrive. Our experienced staff will provide the care, compassion, and support that senior pets need to maintain their quality of life.
Biannual senior pet exams can make a difference.
As pets age, they become more susceptible to certain health issues, making regular check-ups and lab work vital for early detection and treatment. We recommend biannual veterinary exams for all senior pets, along with annual lab work to monitor their organ function and overall health. These frequent exams catch potential health concerns early when they are easier to manage.
For pets with chronic conditions or specific health concerns, even more frequent visits may be necessary. By staying proactive, we can provide the right treatments to manage these conditions, ensuring that your senior pet continues to enjoy a good quality of life. During each exam, our veterinarians perform a thorough physical assessment, discuss any changes in behavior or health, and update your pet’s care plan as needed.
Ongoing care is needed for pets with age-related chronic conditions.
Senior pets are more likely to develop chronic health conditions such as:
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Renal Failure
- Liver Disease
- Pancreatitis
- Thyroid Disorders
These health conditions require ongoing care and management. Our staff at Green Level Animal Hospital are passionate about diagnosing and treating chronic conditions with empathy for pets with long-term health concerns.
If your cat or dog is showing signs of a health issue, contact us for an appointment. For suffering pets, we have same-day urgent care appointments available. Our veterinary clinic is equipped to perform diagnostics such as bloodwork, X-rays, ultrasound scans, and other tests to determine the cause of your pet’s symptoms. Once we have a diagnosis, our veterinarians develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include medication, dietary changes, or lifestyle adjustments to help manage symptoms and improve your pet’s quality of life. Regular follow-up visits will monitor your pet’s progress with adjustments to treatments as needed for their comfort.
Weight management may be needed for older pets.
As pets age, they become more prone to weight-related issues, whether that’s obesity or unintended weight loss. Managing your senior pet’s weight matters to their overall health, as excess weight can put extra strain on joints and organs, while sudden weight loss may indicate underlying health problems.
At Green Level Animal Hospital, we provide nutritional guidance on weight management and diet for senior pets. We can recommend the right diet based on your pet’s specific needs, which may include prescription diets designed to address weight control, joint health, or organ function. Along with dietary advice, we can also work with you to develop a gentle exercise routine that suits your pet’s abilities, helping them maintain a healthy weight and stay active as they age.
