Importance of Senior Pet CareHeading
Regular Wellness Exams
With age, pets become more susceptible to various health issues. We recommend scheduling wellness exams every six months for senior pets. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor their health closely, detect potential problems early, and provide timely interventions. These exams typically include blood work, dental checks, and a thorough physical examination.
Monitoring Behavioral Changes
Behavioral changes can be indicators of underlying health problems in senior pets. Our veterinary team at Akaal Pet Hospital helps you keep an eye on any changes in your pet’s behavior. This can include changes in appetite, mobility, or social interactions. By understanding these changes, we can develop effective treatment plans to manage conditions such as arthritis, cognitive dysfunction, and more.
