Senior Pet Health Checks

Wild cats live up to 8 years with an average lifespan of 5 years. Stray dogs live up to 10 years with an average lifespan of 8 years. Our loved pets live much longer, but in their advanced years may suffer from age-related conditions. In many cases we can treat these problems to make these “old” years “happy” years and keep them younger, longer! The sooner problems are diagnosed, the sooner treatment is started and the more we can help!

As pets age, they can become prone to developing certain types of diseases:

Dental Disease
Arthritis
Kidney Disease
Diabetes
Heart Disease
Cancer
Liver Disease
Diseases of the endocrine system (e.g. Hyperthyroidism)

Regular checkups with your veterinarian will help detect any health problems early

The earlier these problems are identified the more can be done to help.
This is where Cambridge Vets can help.
We can provide a more pro-active approach to senior animal care through an individualised wellness programme for your pet.

Remember, pets age about 7 times faster than humans, so a trip to the vet once a year for your pet is like a trip to the doctors every 7 years for us.

Providing optimal care for Senior Pets:

Intervention will be of more benefit if instituted early
Promotes early detection of abnormalities (even in the apparently normal pet)
Promotes individualised medical care to enhance quality & length of life
Acknowledges & enhances the human-animal bond
