Our older pets often need a little extra care to feel their best. We offer senior pet care in Edmond to ensure that your little companion is getting what they need to live a long and healthy life by your side. We understand the changing needs of aging pets and are ready to work together with owners to care for your pets in their golden years.

Although it can vary depending on the species, most dogs are considered seniors when they are seven years old, and cats reach that stage around eleven. For exotic pets, we’ll go over their life stages with you during their first wellness exam. This is especially important for those long-lived animals, such as certain birds or reptiles. You could be looking at a lifespan that’s longer than your own!

Since many pets (particularly dogs and cats) age much more quickly than humans, we recommend that senior pets in the Oklahoma City area be seen every six months in our animal hospital. This allows us to keep up with their vaccination schedule, perform bloodwork to determine the health of their internal organs and perform a physical exam to look for the first signs of disease. Aging doesn’t have to be painful and difficult for our pets. We can provide nutritional counseling and advice on maintaining an active lifestyle to keep them moving around well into their senior years.
