Once dogs and cats begin entering their senior years, their health care needs become unique, and our Senior Wellness plan for your pet is designed to guide you through the potential pitfalls of caring for a senior pet.
The Mission of Our Senior Wellness Plan
- Help detect and treat common senior animal diseases with an effective screening schedule.
- Educate owners about signs of possible disease or discomfort that their animals may display at home.
- Help to enrich the comfort and activity of all our geriatric animals, both sick and well, through the use of therapeutic medications, supplements, and prescription diets.
Medical Protocol
Patients are treated using a protocol that has been carefully drafted by our veterinarians to provide the best care for your senior pet(s).
- Twice-yearly physical exams, including all aspects of a normal exam, but also including a comprehensive orthopedic exam.
- Annual Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Annual Complete Chemistry Profile with or without a Urinalysis
- Annual Thyroid Level
- Tracking and analysis of your pet’s weight
- Consultations on diet and nutrition, including guidance on dietary ingredients, therapeutic diets, and supplements that may benefit your pet’s health
The entire staff at Green Valley Animal Hospital works every day to help ensure that we are providing the best care for all of your pets. We hope to continue toward this goal for a more thorough, age-appropriate medical protocol for your senior pet.
