Many pets slow down as they age.
Their golden years can still be full of comfort with the right medical support. easyvet Rosenberg has expert veterinary care that enables senior pets to live happy lives. We can give preventive support. If your aging pet has a chronic illness, we have management options. Our veterinarians help pet owners navigate every stage of your aging pet’s journey with compassion.
Semi-Annual Vet Exams and Senior Pet Lab Work
The health needs of pets tend to increase as they grow older. Our veterinarians recommend semi-annual exams for senior pets, along with annual lab work to monitor internal health. Pets can’t always tell us when something’s wrong. Many age-related conditions develop gradually.
Regular checkups at easyvet Rosenberg give us the opportunity to detect issues, track trends, and make adjustments to your pet’s care plan before small problems become serious. Bloodwork and other diagnostics are used to spot changes in organ function and detect underlying diseases. We recommend these visits and diagnostics to all our aging pet patients.
Aging doesn’t have to mean suffering for your pet; we offer chronic illness management.
Many senior pets live long, joyful lives with proper management of chronic conditions. At easyvet Rosenberg, we will work closely with you to address common concerns for older cats and dogs, such as:
- Arthritis
- Joint Pain
- Diabetes
- Kidney Disease
- Thyroid Disease or Imbalances
- Chronic Gastrointestinal Issues
Our team will guide you through treatment options, lifestyle adjustments, and dietary changes to support your pet’s quality of life. We will also keep a close eye on your pet’s comfort and mobility, making adjustments as their needs evolve.
