Compassionate Care for Senior Pets

Senior pets deserve attentive healthcare that supports their comfort, mobility and quality of life. Regular veterinary assessments can help identify age-related changes early and guide appropriate care.

Our senior pet care approach includes monitoring overall health, discussing changes in behaviour or activity, assessing mobility and providing practical guidance for ongoing home care.

Supporting Healthy Ageing

Every senior pet ages differently. Veterinary recommendations are tailored according to the pet's age, breed, lifestyle, medical history and individual needs.

Conditions & concerns covered

When to contact a veterinarian

Contact a veterinarian if your senior pet shows a noticeable change in appetite, weight, activity, mobility, behaviour or daily routine.

Questions about senior pet care

When is a pet considered a senior pet?
The age at which a pet is considered senior varies by species, breed and individual health. Larger dogs may enter their senior years earlier than smaller dogs, while cats generally become senior as they get older. Your veterinarian can help determine an appropriate senior-care schedule for your pet.
How often should a senior pet have a veterinary check-up?
Senior pets may benefit from more frequent veterinary assessments than younger pets. The appropriate schedule depends on your pet's age, health history, lifestyle and any ongoing medical conditions.
What signs should I watch for in an ageing pet?
Watch for changes in appetite, weight, activity, mobility, sleep, behaviour, drinking, urination or daily habits. Persistent or sudden changes should be discussed with a veterinarian.
Can senior pets benefit from physiotherapy and mobility support?
Some senior pets may benefit from veterinary physiotherapy and mobility support, particularly when stiffness or reduced mobility affects their daily activities. Your veterinarian can assess your pet and recommend suitable options.
