Senior Care

We would be thrilled to have your pet as a patient

Much like people, dogs and cats become more susceptible to a variety of health ailments as they get older.

From arthritis and other degenerative disorders to cancer and heart disease, many problems are common in older companion animals. At Orting Animal Hospital, our compassionate team is here to help make your beloved companion’s golden years their best years. We provide senior pet care in Orting and would be thrilled to have your pet as a patient.

Caring for Senior Pets

Because companion animals age so much faster than humans, they are classified as “seniors” once they’re about seven years old.

Once your pet reaches this age, their needs will begin to change. They may become less active than they were in their younger days, and their diet will need to be adjusted accordingly.

Because senior pets are more prone to disease, it’s important to bring them in for routine wellness exams. This allows our veterinarians to watch for signs of illness and begin treatment for potential problems right away. It’s not always easy to tell if your pet is just exhibiting the normal signs of aging or if an unlying condition is to blame. Routine exams and blood work allow us to remove the guesswork and ensure that your furry friend remains healthy and by your side for as many years as possible.
